Exploration of Prayer

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.
