Breathing Life Into the Body: A Somatic Prayer Experience
Enter a sacred rhythm of breath and movement—where your body is met with kindness, and communion is found in presence and grace.
What if prayer wasn’t something you had to get right—but something you could experience in your breath, your body, your being?
This class isn’t about performing or striving—it’s an invitation to move, to breathe, to feel. To reconnect with yourself and the sacred in a way that is real and embodied.
Whether you’ve felt disconnected for years or are simply longing for something deeper, this space is for you.
Come as you are. Breathe. Begin.
Welcome & Invitation: Entering This Sacred Space
Before we begin, take a breath. Feel your body settle, your breath move in and out. This is not a space for striving—only presence. This class is an invitation to step into your body, your breath, and a sacred rhythm of movement and prayer. However you arrive today, you are welcome here. No pressure, no perfection—just a place to breathe, to be, and to begin.
The Slow Return: Finding Presence in Your Body
Disconnection happens quietly—through survival, stress, and the weight of daily life. But presence can return, too. Slowly. Gently. In the smallest moments. This session is an invitation to notice—to meet yourself in this breath, in this body, exactly as you are. No fixing, no forcing. Just the quiet remembering that you are here, and that is enough.
Called Out to Be Called Back In: A Story of Breath, Body & Belonging
Some journeys take us further than we ever expected—away from our bodies, our breath, even our sense of belonging. But what if being called out was never the end of the story? This session is a reflection on finding presence again—within yourself, within faith, and within the breath that has been with you all along.
"I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life." — Ezekiel 37:5**
Come as you are. There is still life here.
Flow and Feel: A Somatic Prayer of Movement
What if movement itself was a form of prayer? This practice invites you to step beyond words—into breath, into motion, into a rhythm of presence that honors your body as sacred space. No striving, no perfection—just an opportunity to move, release, and reconnect. Whether you flow gently or simply sway, let this be a moment where breath and body meet in stillness and grace.
The Reckoning & the Returning: Finding Your Place in the Body Again
Belonging is complicated. Reckoning with the body of Christ—after hurt, after disillusionment, after distance—takes courage. What if the way forward isn’t about quick answers, but about learning to live the questions?"
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
— Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
This session is an invitation—to notice, to breathe, to ask, and to listen. No rush, no pressure—just space to wonder, wrestle, and receive.
From Breath to Being: Carrying This Practice Into Life
Breath is not separate from life, and you are not separate from God. As you step out of this space and back into your day, may you walk with greater awareness—of your breath, your body, and the sacred that moves within you."
"I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity." — John 17:23
May your breath be an act of trust. May you remember: You belong. You belong. You belong.
Where did you meet yourself today?
Where did you meet God?
Where did you meet the body?
This journey is not about fixing or proving—it’s about presence.
As you step forward, allow yourself time to notice, to name, to rest in the slow work of God.
If something stirred in you today, you are invited to share—here in the space below, through email, or simply in the quiet of your own reflection.
There is room for you here.

"Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown,
something new.And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time."
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Slow Work of God (CLICK here to READ the Whole Poem)
