PRAYER/SPIRITUALITY
Deepening the Life of Prayer Session 2
Prayer is hard work. It seems to come easy to some, but most of the great spiritual masters through the centuries have insisted that a deeper life of prayer requires desire, commitment, and just plain hard work. This workshop will look at some of the counsel of the spiritual masters that can enrich our life of prayer and make the hard to worth every bit of the effort.
The Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander, ThD, DD, Bishop of Atlanta
Introduction to Aramaic Lord's Prayer as a Journey of Healing and Renewal Session 1
Using the text and translations of Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz, Aramaic scholar and teacher, in his works Prayers of the Cosmos, Original Prayer and The Hidden Gospel, this will be a participatory experience, allowing the wisdom of Jesus to become an embodied experience. Participants will be introduced to some basic tenets and practices from ancient Middle Eastern spirituality; consider the translations of one or more lines of The Prayer of Jesus; chant the Aramaic words in Taize style; engage in meditation and bodyprayers which open the meanings more personally; and then experience a simple circle dance which allows individual and community understanding of the meanings within the lines of the prayer to deepen.
