July 31 - August 2, 2015
Theme: THE MYSTICAL WORDS OF JESUS: PRAYING THE BEATITUDES IN HIS NATIVE ARAMAIC. Aramaic was the common language in Jesus' time. Using Prayers of the Cosmos by Neil Douglas-Klotz as a guide, we will explore the Beatitudes' layered meanings through chant, breath and gentle movement, and we will have the freedom to write our own renditions of the Beatitudes.
Leader: Connie Ridgway is a modern mystic and singer. She is a psychotherapist and cranio-sacral therapist in Washington DC, and is a member of the 8th Day Faith Community.
