Exploration of Prayer
April 24 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT
Exploration of Prayer with Emma Markham
In this three-week series we will explore prayer from Christian, Jewish and Buddhist traditions, and how we can find inspiration from these ancient contemplative traditions to help enrich our personal spiritual practices. You are invited to bring your personal background with prayer, as well as your questions and curiosities about what prayer can mean for you to these gatherings where we will learn about, discuss, practice, and create prayer together. This class is free, but requires pre-registration. See this page to sign-up.
Emma Markham is currently a Master of Divinity in Buddhism and Interreligious Engagement candidate at Union Theological Seminary. She has been formally practicing Buddhism for 10 years and has been meditating for 20. She is currently completing a capstone research project related to Buddhism and sexuality and is completing her second unit of CPE in hospice chaplaincy. Emma has led meditation groups at the Church Center for the UN, NY State Mentoring, and other organizations since 2019. Emma is a classical guitarist and worked in nonprofit operations before returning to school to pursue interfaith chaplaincy.
