About this Event
“Lectio divina,” literally “sacred reading,” is a practice that comes to us from the monastic tradition of Western Europe. It’s a form of meditation that focuses on the written word. Traditionally, lectio divina involves entering mindfulness through the prayerful reading of holy writ. We will explore this practice through various sacred and secular writings. Short texts will be reflected upon using the step-by-step process incorporating reading and listening, silence and insight.
Led by Rev. Peter Boullata
About Spiritual Practice Seminars: These one-time seminars are designed to introduce participants to the history, culture, and practice of disciplines from various traditions, with a focus on deepening mindfulness, connection, and transcendence. Many of these practices can be found in several different religious and spiritual traditions, and so we will be conscious of both the universality and particularity of these exercises.
The included practices in these seminars are primarily those in which Rev. Peter Boullata is proficient.
There are many more options for spiritual practices beyond those offered in the seminars, and individuals with experience in other practices are encouraged to consider offering their knowledge to the community.
