We invite you to explore using movement as part of your spiritual practice. In Worship Sharing with Movement, we will share the experience of pausing, grounding and listening, with curiosity and care, moving as we are led. We will move in solitude, in dyads, and in community. We will move with song and blessing, explore additional practices and close with a Circle Dance. Please feel free to join us even if this is a very new direction for you. If you have questions, contact Betsey Kenworthy, Lynn Kitajima, AnnMarie Marriott, Kepper Petzing or Art Okada.
