Summer Renewal Group: Listening to Our Hearts

  • United Church of Hayward 30042 Mission Boulevard STE #121 #181 Hayward, CA, 94544 United States (map)

I am offering another way for us to gather during our Renewal Summer. It will be a group focused on listening to: our bodies; our hearts and one another. We will be using movement, poetry and music. It will be a time for listening deeply to ourselves and one another.

We will begin with gentle Chi Gung movements—slow, simple exercises that can be done standing or seated. These exercises are designed to turn our attention inward to our center and breath.

We will then read a poem together in the style of Lectio Divina, an ancient spiritual practice that invites conversation with the Holy.

We will close by listening to music. The group will meet for about an hour.

There is nothing to prepare in advance and you are welcome to come for all the sessions or just a few. In Chinese tradition, new moons are good times for beginning, so we will begin on Tuesday, July 14 at 5:30 pm
