22nd March – Revd Dr John Russell
The Body and Prayer – An Experiential Session
The Revd Dr John Russell is Acting Lead for Spirituality at London Jesuit Centre, where he runs the embody programme of breath and bodywork. This Lent Talk is a 60-minute online session of embodied prayer to encourage you to be rooted and grounded in your body, open your radiant heart, and formulate intentions for joining in the spiralling mission of God’s love. Ideally, you’ll be sitting on the floor with crossed-legs, perhaps on a cushion or foam exercise block. You will need room to raise your arms above your head and out to the sides. Please wear loose comfortable clothing you can move around in. You should plan to eat dinner after the class, and not before!
(There is a minimum payment of £15 when booking through our website, so please contact Fiona on programmeadmin@stbedes.org.uk if you are just wanting to book for one of the Lent Talks).
