Strengthening the heart: Finding the courage to fall back in love with the world.
“Living” means having our hearts broken, again and again, by the beauty and terror of the world we live in. It is with a sense of real courage, imagination and artistry that we strive to let our souls be reborn with each of these breakings, to strengthen our hearts ability to forgive, and to make our whole-hearted living into a kind of life-affirming music. But how do we do this?
Working with the Aramaic Hail Mary Prayer as our guide and enriched by Jahanara’s moving melodies, we journey into the waters of deep healing. The mysticism of the prayer works on mind, body and spirit as a multi-dimensional ritual and vehicle for intimacy with Mariam/Mary. Through attunement to sound and sensation, through practices based on ancient tradition, and through the nurturing of silence we are transported into a group experience that feels both timeless and fresh. The intimacy itself whispers to the essence of our being. No previous experience is needed.
