The desert of lent and these dry times can leave us parched and weary.
You are invited to find and help create a space of prayer, rest and discernment in this season.
This weekly contempletive group will explore wisdom and teachings from Christian mystics including the Desert Mothers and Fathers in order to help us listen and share in God’s Grace.
This gathering will include a time for centering prayer, lectio divina, and other contemplative practices as well as a time to share and talk with one another that we may quench our souls in God’s love and find our way forward.
Rachel Kinney graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School in 2014 and has been practicing centering prayer for ten years.
