Many of us are anxious about the upcoming election and are engaging current events in a variety of ways. This four weeks series offers a way to join with others for contemplative practices to ground us all more deeply in resources that will help us engage current events spiritually and emotionally in healing and life-giving ways. 

We will begin with various kinds of practices such as pranayama, simple movements, chant, poetry/ lectio divina, music/audio divina, visualization, silence. After a few introductory remarks by Dr. Farley, we offer space for comments or prayer requests. We will meet Thursdays at 4:00 Eastern time. 

Dr. Wendy Farley is the Rice Family Chair of Spirituality at San Francisco Theological Seminary, part of the Graduate School of Theology at Redlands University. In that capacity, she is the Director of Programs in Christian Spirituality and Director of Programs in the Art of Spiritual Direction.
