If you are new to Midweek Retreat, we generally maintain the following outline:
12:00 – Greeting and brief stretch
12:05 – Guidance into practice (instructions or guided meditation)
12:15 – Silence
12:30 – Reflection
12:45 – Conclusion
We are happy to evolve this format to accommodate additional practice preferences. If you would like to inform our weekly practice – including when we meet – please share your interests here.

This Week’s Practice
Throughout October we will synchronize petitions of The Prayer Jesus Taught Us with our energy centers/chakras, utilizing an interpretation of the Prayer based on its Arabic form.
A full introduction will be offered on October 6, with the following practices unfolding in the sequence of the Prayer, meaning each week will be a continuation of the week before. However, practitioners are invited, as always, to join as schedules allow.

If you would like to receive weekly invitations to the practice, send an email of request here.
