SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2025, 8:30 A.M.–12 P.M., registration required

FACILITATED BY THE REV. DR. HILLARY RAINING AND DR. DARLENE FRANZ

One of the most ancient spiritual tools used across religions and cultures is fasting. Jesus himself used fasting as a way to prepare for his ministry, and his 40-day fast in the wilderness is the basis for the Christian season of Lent. In this workshop we will examine the biblical tradition of fasting and give you some modern tools to help you engage in this embodied prayer practice, which is about more than just giving up food.  It is a way of letting go of the distractions and cravings that impede our spiritual journey, creating space for sacred Wisdom to speak into our lives anew.

The Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining will join us via Zoom to guide us in a reflection on the spiritual practice of fasting, and local musician Dr. Darlene Franz will be present to invite us into Wisdom Chant across the morning, all as we seek to unfold to new spiritual awareness shaped by questions such as “What is my true hunger?”
