Sacred Circle Dance as a Form of Embodied Prayer
Saturday, May 9
9 a.m.-12 p.m.
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
110 St Stephens Church Rd, Crownsville, MD 21032
“God is not remote from us; . . . on the contrary, at every moment God awaits us in the activity, the work to be done, which every moment brings.” Teilhard de Chardin, Hymn of the Universe
During this in-person half-day retreat we’ll introduce contemplative dances from the Sacred Circle Dance tradition. These simple movements, done in a group setting, can help us unite mind, heart, and body to deepen our prayer practice. Together we’ll explore how the combination of music and movement can be a companion to Centering Prayer, in which we open our hearts to consent to God’s presence and action within us.
Presented by Suzi Kindervatter, former COMW team member and veteran teacher of Sacred Circle Dance, and Linda Hall, co-coordinator of COMW.

When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:6
