Contemplative Movement
Jan 22 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

When cultivated through regular practice, Contemplative Movement is a holistic body-mind training to ease us into meditation and contemplation. It also helps us to engage our whole selves in our spiritual life. The practice may draw on the yogic tradition to prepare...
