Lent: Enter The Stillness

Por Miranda Ruth Gill

O que você irá aprender

Lent is a faith journey. An invitation to meet with God in silent places and come back changed. In this course, we’ll explore Lent as a gateway to spiritual transformation. We’ll experience a series of meditation practices from the contemplative Christian tradition, sitting in stillness with the Presence of the Divine. There will be plenty of space for silence as well as reflection and journalling to help the experience go deeper. We’ll end with a reflection on how we feel personally called to move forward through the rest of Lent, to honour our unique relationship with God. This course will primarily resonate with a Christian audience but is open to all. It’s more about letting go and allowing God to transform us through silent practice, than about engaging with a specific belief system – though as this is a Lent course, it does reflect on Jesus’ experience in the wilderness, and it uses the language of God, Jesus and the Spirit.

Lição 1

Your Invitation To Stillness

Today we’ll reflect on Lent as an invitation to a stillness journey with God. We'll explore the Christian tradition of contemplation and consider how the simple and repeated act of letting go can create change at the deepest level of our being. We'll experience a contemplative practice for deep stillness and close with journaling and reflection.

Lição 2

Eyes Willing To See

Today we'll explore the ancient practice of Lectio Divina (divine reading), sitting and soaking in a passage from a sacred text. We’ll consider how this practice can open our eyes to the text in a new way, allowing the flow of the Spirit to speak to us and gently create change within us, as we sit softly in silent receiving. We'll experience a Lectio Divina practice with Mark 8: 14-21, followed by space for silent reflection.

Lição 3

Becoming Love

Today we'll explore mantra meditation as another pathway to stillness and a gateway to inner transformation. We'll experience a silent practice, allowing the phrase, ‘Love speak to me, and through me’ to flow through us. As we allow this beautiful mantra to sink into the mind, it gradually becomes a response of the heart as we slowly align ourselves with Divine Love. We'll close with journaling and reflection.

Lição 4

Pebble In The Pond

Today we’ll explore the powerful practice of centering prayer and how this deep surrender into stillness can transform the whole self. We'll acknowledge and offer ourselves compassion for all the ways that sitting in stillness can challenge us – even as we remember that God is holding us in and through it all. We’ll experience a centering prayer practice, followed by space for reflection.

Lição 5

Your Unique Journey

Today we'll consider our unique path forward and how we feel personally called to practice throughout the rest of Lent. There will be space for journaling and reflection on the journey so far and we'll explore which practices are calling to our hearts. We’ll say yes to following the call of our own spirit and the Spirit which flows through us all – understanding that Lent is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith.

This is a wonderful course to welcome in Lent. I particularly enjoyed the Lectio Divino and Contemplative tracks. I will put this on repeat for next year’s Lenten Season. Thank you.
