TONIGHT
Tuesdays at Grace Presents:
 Embodied Spirituality
Two evenings with Sharon Stanley
January 12 and 19, 7pm Grace Church
Ancient
wisdom holds the unity of the mind and body. Returning to an embodied
spiritual practice allows us access to healing ourselves, our
relationships, and our world. When the relationship of our mind and
body are balanced, we gain an inner sense of well-being and a
grace-filled life in the world. Through Scripture, poetry, and sound,
Sharon Stanley will lead us in exploring mind-body unity. Sharon is a
Grace member and practicing psychologist, whose earliest work was in
spiritual direction within the Jesuit community.

"I believe that there is a mysterious and graceful and miraculous Coherence stitched through this world.
"I believe that this life is an extraordinary gift, a blink of bright light between vast darknesses.
"I believe that the fingerprints of the Maker are everywhere: children, hawks, water.
"I believe that even sadness and tragedy and evil are part of that Mind we cannot comprehend
but only thank, a Mind especially to be thanked, oddly, when it is most inscrutable...
"I believe that everything is prayer...
"I believe that love is our greatest and hardest work."
