The main idea

A series of study and practice sessions on the interface between prayer and mindfulness

About the course

The course "The Essence of Intention" was born from our interest in the interface between the spiritual practices of prayer and mindfulness and is built from experience, study, practice, and dialogue. The study will include an in-depth dialogue around topics that concern us and that we believe have the power to support the personal growth of the course participants. From our experience, each in their own world, we will create a dialogue between the components of the practices of mindfulness and prayer. Each session will also include an experiential practice of mindfulness, prayer, and music. 

When and where

The course will take place on Sundays at 8:00 PM, in one and a half hour sessions, starting on 12/27/21 - 

The meetings will be held on ZOOM.
