Title: Becoming the Vessel: A Contemplative Practice on Emptying and Filling.
Faith Tradition: Interfaith
Host: Steve
Description:
Inspired by Margaret Somerville’s book: When Prayer Doesn’t Work
What does it mean to become a vessel—open, receptive, and deeply connected to the divine within and around us? Inspired by the chapter Emptied Space from When Prayer Doesn’t Work, this contemplative practice invites participants into gentle practices of creating sacred space, emptying, and filling.
Through quiet reflection, guided imagery, and simple embodied exercises, we explore the movement from depletion to connection, from emptiness to creative emergence. Together we will practice recognizing the sacred in the ordinary, attending to what fills our vessels, and allowing space for what wishes to be born within us.
