“Contemplative Rhythms”
This regular three-part series at Rolling Ridge introduces three different time-honored contemplative spiritual practices. Finding a rhythm of contemplative practices helps us open more fully to God/the Divine, encouraging receptivity to Love’s abiding invitations in ways congruent with our personal longings. This practice-based series offers guidance in each of the featured spiritual practices, inspiring conversations within shared learning, and meaning-filled reflections all in the company of curious others. Whether we are brand new to the featured practices or well-seasoned with them, we look forward to discovering together the fresh gifts emerging in these Lenten rhythms.
The three contemplative spiritual practices for Lent 2022 are:
•Pausing (March 22)
•Meditative Movement (March 29)
•Gratitude (April 5)
