"I want to remind myself and others that our homes can become sacred spaces, filled with life and meaning," Gunilla Norris writes in Sharing Silence. "We do not need cathedrals to remind ourselves to experience the sacred."
She is right. Think of all the time we spend in the different areas of our homes or apartments: the kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms, basement, closets, and elsewhere. Now consider our everyday activities there: eating, dressing, bathing, sleeping, crafts, games, hobbies. These all have spiritual meaning, and they can become a workshop for the spirit if approached with respect, creativity, and imagination. We may think of chores as a bore but we can reframe such things as cleaning and taking out the trash as opportunities to do our share in mending the world.
This 40-part e-course offers practices, rituals, reminders, and prayers to help you bring more focus and intentionality to the ordinary things you do at home. We will share some of the attitudes and actions recommended by our favorite writers on this subject, including Sue Bender, Brenda Peterson, Donna Schaper, Den Ming-Dao, Brian Doyle, Drew Leder, Henri Nouwen, and many others.
Participants will receive an early morning email with a brief quotation and a related practice suggestion. Join us and discover how your activities at home can be opportunities to experience the sacred.
