Rediscovering the Lost Body Connection within Christian Spirituality – An Experiential Book Study

Our past, our present, our whole self . . . our embodied self -- it is all there available to help us grow in awareness and wholeness. BioSpiritual Focusing enables us to find doorways into transformation in our relationship with God, self, and others – a growing sense of connectedness within the Whole Christ where we know ourselves gifted. While the practice begins simply with developing the gentle habit of noticing and nurturing important feelings, this experiential book study will offer an ever-deepening engagement and bring new understanding. There will be:

  • Beginning Gathering – Saturday, April 10

  • 6 Zoom sessions (on Sunday afternoons – 2PM-4PM (4/18, 5/2, 5/16, 6/6, 6/27, 7/11)

  • Closing Gathering, Saturday, July 17.

The Beginning Gathering and Closing Gathering will be at St. Benedict Center (9:30AM-1:00PM) – with an option for Zoom for anyone unable to come to the Center. Basic familiarity with BioSpiritual Focusing is required.

This is a Level II Program best suited for those with a basic familiarity with BioSpiritual Focusing who seek to deepen their understanding and practice – and to share the journey with others who are similarly interested.
