Lenten Reflections 2023 Part Four ~ Visio Divina

LARCC

The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches have a long tradition of the use of icons. Gazing at an icon of Christ, Mary, the Trinity, or one of the saints puts us in contact with the One who gazes back at us. The practice of Visio Divina or Holy Gazing can extend beyond the world of icons to pieces of fine art or the natural world. Everything in creation is an image of the Invisible God. This evening's session will explore the history and use of icons, art, and nature to experience different aspects of God and will include a practice of Visio Divina. Hosted by Holy Spirit Retreat Center

Lenten Reflections 2023 Part Five ~ The Labyrinth

LARCC

Facilitated by Sue Ballotti and Paul Craig ~ Hosted by Mary and Joseph Retreat Center
Solvitur Ambulando -- This is a Latin phrase often attributed to St Augustine and used to describe the benefits of walking and using motion to clear the mind. Prayer in motion is an ancient form of prayer, and the labyrinth walking pattern was common across civilizations for more than 4,000 years. Physical movement connects body, mind and spirit and can be a powerful way of praying. We will introduce forms of prayer-in-motion, with particular reliance on the labyrinth – history, purpose, and creative ways to put labyrinth walks into our prayer practice.
