Registration Open for Online Course that starts Sept 7: Exploring Spiritual Practice

 

Registration is open for a Fall 2021 online course starting Tuesday Sept. 7th, Exploring Spiritual Practices, led by Swarthmore Meeting member Marcelle Martin.  During the ten week course, participants will experiment with numerous approaches to meditation, prayer, and presence.  We'll seek to know more fully the nature of consciousness, our true self, and our connection to the Spirit.   We’ll explore how mindfulness, awareness, and communion with the Divine affects not only our inner and outer lives, but radiates beyond us into the world. We will learn which spiritual practices are most suited to each of us at this time and explore how to make them a more integrated part of our daily lives.  Online class time will include brief presentations, experiencing different spiritual practices, sharing in pairs and groups, and class discussion.  No particular beliefs in God or prayer are required, only a willingness to earnestly try different practices, notice what we experience, and listen respectfully to the experiences and beliefs shared by others.  We will be forming a vibrant community to go deeper together in our spiritual experience and explore the awesome mystery of our relationship to the divine.   TWO SECTIONS OF THE COURSE ARE OFFERED:         Morning: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm Eastern Time          Evening: 7 - 9 pm Eastern Time.
