Anne M. Kelley: For those of you who haven't yet participated, the meditation engages as many of the senses as possible, starting with your very breath and movement. You will model the movements of a certified yoga instructor who will be at the front of the room. She will be assisted by another great instructor who will walk around the room to help people into safe and comfortable poses, as needed. Each Station is anchored by a short meditation I have written and will be accompanied by live choral music. You will see projected in front of you for each station a painted image which was specially created for this meditation by Pennsylvania artist Eric Armusik. No experience in yoga is required; and if you do not wish to participate in the movement, you are welcome to participate from a chair. For those who have mats, please bring them. For all, wear comfortable clothing in which you can move. The meditation lasts an hour and is free of charge. Teens and children over 10 most welcome.

Saturday, March 21, 2020 - 10 a.m. Come participate in an unusual meditation on the Stations of the Cross during Lent, presented for the tenth time at Holy Family. The meditation uses as many of the senses as possible, starting with your very breath and movement. The idea is to center your whole body in Jesus' Passion through a guided meditation on the Stations of the Cross – using yoga and dance shapes led by instructor Cynthia Simon. The meditation makes use of projected images from a set of Stations I commissioned by Pennsylvania artist Eric Armusik. Each Station is anchored by a short meditation I have written and will be accompanied by live choral music. It is a prayerful and powerful way to connect with Christ and His Passion. This meditation has been offered at various Catholic Churches in Seattle, Los Angeles and Detroit and in the Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle over the past ten years, to very positive feedback. I bring the meditation to Holy Family as a parishioner and choir member. I am delighted to present the musical portion of the meditation with Diana Ferris, longtime parishioner and also a member of the Holy Family 9:30 Mass Choir. No previous yoga experience is required, and two certified instructors will help to facilitate your movements. Make sure to come just a few minutes before the 10:00 a.m. start time to settle in and prepare for the meditation. Directions are above. Please wear easy clothing and bring your own yoga mat if you have one; we'll have some spares. Participating children over 10 are welcome. We usually have a solid section of people who attend the meditation at Holy Family from their chairs, some participating in the movements modeled by an instructor dedicated to them, others participating more quietly. So don’t let your back or knee keep you from joining us--come participate with others from your chair! The meditation will last about an hour and is free of charge. If you would like to attend, sign up above and if you have any questions, please contact me (Anne Murphy Kelley) via info@bodyinprayer.com. Please let me know if you will be actively participating or experiencing the meditation from a chair so that we can prepare the room properly. |
