Prayer: Contemplation, Mindfulness & Stress
Our culture is saturated in stress and so are our churches. Our leaders are stressed and so are our children. Mindfulness is everywhere, but our contemplative heritage is often treated as an artefact on a shelf in a reformed theological antique shop.
How could reconnecting with our Reformed legacy help us tackle the issue of stress in contemporary culture?

In this course we’ll explore how we deal with stress as 'embodied souls', how we engage with mindfulness, what it means to 'gaze upon the beauty of the Lord', and how to lead in corporate contemplative practice.
