Everything Belongs:
A Contemplative Journey through Songs from The Center, Volume 2, with Michael Sciretti
The Great Room of The Anchor House
Seek wisdom and practical methods for living a whole life in God.
What to Expect:
Prior to each session, participants will be given texts for reflection (lectio divina) related to the upcoming song(s) for discussion, lyrics to the song, a meditation on the primary wisdom teachings in the song, questions for reflection, a contemplative practice, and Peter’s notes on the writing of the song. No additional reading is required, and there is no cost for this course. However, participants will be asked to write a 1-2 page reflection paper on their experience of the song(s) for that session to hand in on the day of class, as a way to help integrate the teachings and practices. Each paper will be read only by the spiritual director for our course, who will respond with written words of encouragement and affirmation. This is a new method we are exploring as we move towards offering a “School for Contemplative Living.”
You might be interested in this course if you are interested in learning more about the main contemplative wisdom and teachings behind The Songs from The Center, Volume 2. In each session, we will experience a song, discuss the main contemplative wisdom teachings, and explore how we have sought to implement the wisdom and practices of the song during the previous week.
