Winter 2026: “Embodied prayer” by the Rev. Liv Larson Andrews*If you can't make these dates, check out Esther Circle Gather Study to join the same study!
--------------------------------------------------
Prayer is an important part of our relationship with God, and one of the ways we respond to God speaking in our lives. At the same time, we may carry all kinds of baggage or heavy questions about prayer: Am I doing it “right?” Do I pray enough? Is prayer always done with words? This two-part Bible study looks to Scripture as a guide to explore some different ways we can pray with our bodies—and with the body of the earth.
(January) Session One: Praying with our bodies
Looking to the Apostle Paul, Mary, the Psalms and more, we’ll learn about and try three embodied practices of prayer based on breathing techniques, the use of beads (such as the rosary) and praying in different postures (sitting, standing and kneeling).
(February) Session Two: Praying with the body of the earth
Scripture inspires us to regard the natural world as both sacred space and our neighbor. This session explores ways we can pray not only for creation but with creation as our sacred neighbors. As we pray, even the trees and rivers are our prayer partners. The session concludes with the glorious vision in Revelation 22 of a restored world and the river of life.
