Essence is a six-part course designed to give the participants an experiential introduction to the Christian faith in a culturally relevant way. The overriding objective of each workshop is to help people who may view themselves as 'spiritual' an opportunity to experientially explore the traditions and basics of Christian faith.
The course seeks to start where people are, so the concepts explored are all recognizable to those familiar with New Age spirituality. Essence seeks to help participants look at these concepts and issues from a Christian perspective.
The six sessions are:
1. the journey so far (April 7, 7:00 p.m.)
2. the journey within (April 14, 7:00 p.m)
3. the journey to a better world (April 21, 7:00 p.m.)
4. the journey to wholeness (April 28, 7:00 p.m.)
5. the journey to spirituality (May 5, 7:00 p.m.)
6. the journey to the future (May 12, 7:00 p.m.)
Each
session contains a rich blend of biblical material, reflection and a great
range of activities. Activities include crafts, collage, meditation, drawing,
salt dough modeling, and massage.
We all need space to: breathe • think • seek • reflect • question • listen • watch • wait • pray • journey • doubt • relax • feel • touch • love • rejoice • scream • cry • laugh • hope • and reach for God. We need a circle of trust: a small group of people who will be vulnerable with one another in perceptive trust.
Breathing | Space offers a community of people from a variety of backgrounds seeking to experience, express and explore 21st century spirituality that is rooted in the Christian tradition.
We are an inclusive community, believing that unity can be found in diversity, that the sacred can be encountered in times of simply being, and that life and light are to be discovered in that which needs the breath of God. Our community is a place for space, peace, soul searching, meditation, food and friendship. Everyone is accepted as they are, just as God loves us. Know that you are accepted, welcomed, whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey of faith.
Our common Breathing Space will be a place where all may experience the love and grace of God in community. A space where the holy breath of God engages us in all of life.
