Today we talk about rest! As we begin to move towards post-pandemic life, some of us have questions: Do we like our old pace? Are there rhythms we’ve enjoyed that we want to keep?Today we talk about the many benefits of rest. Because let’s face it, productivity is great! It’s caused lots of advancement in our society. But what would healthy rhythms look like for us personally? #FourQuadrants #Sabbath #LifeStages #Seasons Additional Resources: Image: <a href='https://www.bishophouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Effective-Personal-Management-with-Covey-The-4-Quads.pdf'>Four Quadrants</a> by Stephen Covey.

Ep 28 Contemplative Storytelling

Discover the gifts of deep listening and spiritual companioning. This podcast is dedicated to helping people become familiar with the wide variety of contemplative practices that have been developed over hundreds of years and are continuing to develop even to this day. We also hope to create a space for people to learn more about spiritual direction, also known as spiritual companioning. Our interest is in allowing "the contemplative" to become a part of our regular life experiences, and so we cover a lot of ground! How does Art fit? Music? Exercise? How does my personality play into my experiences? What if I don't feel comfortable with silence? What if I don't even know what I think about God? And what you'll find is that, since there are 3 of us co-leading the podcast, each of us often comes with a slightly different point of view. So there's no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all conversations! We hope you'll join us!
