Zoom: Cinema Divina – On Reflecting
With M Freeman
March 7, 2021
It’s been about a year since Covid-19 upended our lives and everything changed. We’ve endured a strange, tumultuous and an unsettling time. What has hit you hardest? How has your heart opened in unexpected way? This session, On Reflecting, invites you into stillness with others to consider how the Spirit has moved in your life through the past twelve months and what stirs in your heart as you look ahead. Marilyn will guide participants through a contemplative screening process with a short film made for this session. Participants will be invited into reverent silences, writing, sharing and spacious listening.
