A Quiet Day - Praying through your body with gesture and posture.
About this Event

Led by Revd Karen Wellman. When we stand or sit or kneel to pray we are praying with our bodies but we often don’t notice how our bodies can help us pray as we focus on words or silence. This workshop aims to give participants an insight into how gesture can help us pray; to notice what we are already doing and to add to our toolbox of prayers gestures and prayer postures for ourselves and others.

Revd Karen Wellman is a priest and spiritual director currently working in the North Cotswolds. She is one of the very few ordained circle dance teachers in the UK and finds gesture, movement and dance are a means to find stillness in prayer. An article about her work can be found here: https://www.lcsd.org.uk/blog/bodypostures

The day can be combined with an overnight stay or two at the House. If you would like this please contact the Retreat House direct 01245 237251.
