SUMMARY:Aramaic Prayer Group (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Jesus’ teachings were meant to bring us to wholeness and health ~ not make us dependent upon a particular person or sect.  In this on-line course\, we will learn one of Jesus’ most powerful teachings\, the Lord’s Prayer\, as he spoke it in his native language of Aramaic.  Using these words offers a direct connection to the blessing-centered spirituality of Jesus through the vibration\, sound and breath of the words.  In the first part of the Prayer\, we learn how to connect with something greater.  In the second part\, how to care for and live in harmony with each other. \nOn Zoom: 1st Tuesdays\, September 3 – May 6 (except March 11)\, 9:30 – 11AM.  We will do chant\, meditation and body prayer with the Prayer as translated by Neil Douglas-Klotz in his books Prayers of the Cosmos and the more recent Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus.  Offered through the Spiritual Life Circle.  Class limited to 12 participants.  Contact Morgan Rivers (morgan@healingpartners.biz) to register and for more information. \nJoanna Macy writes on the book cover of Prayers of the Cosmos:  “For the many of us who want to peel away centuries of dualistic\, patriarchal forms and recover the life-affirming beauty of our Christian roots\, nothing could be more welcome than this exquisite little volume.” \nAdditional resources available at: https://abwoon.org/

SUMMARY:Aramaic Prayer Group (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Jesus’ teachings were meant to bring us to wholeness and health ~ not make us dependent upon a particular person or sect.  In this on-line course\, we will learn one of Jesus’ most powerful teachings\, the Lord’s Prayer\, as he spoke it in his native language of Aramaic.  Using these words offers a direct connection to the blessing-centered spirituality of Jesus through the vibration\, sound and breath of the words.  In the first part of the Prayer\, we learn how to connect with something greater.  In the second part\, how to care for and live in harmony with each other. \nOn Zoom: 1st Tuesdays\, September 3 – May 6 (except March 11)\, 9:30 – 11AM.  We will do chant\, meditation and body prayer with the Prayer as translated by Neil Douglas-Klotz in his books Prayers of the Cosmos and the more recent Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus.  Offered through the Spiritual Life Circle.  Class limited to 12 participants.  Contact Morgan Rivers (morgan@healingpartners.biz) to register and for more information. \nJoanna Macy writes on the book cover of Prayers of the Cosmos:  “For the many of us who want to peel away centuries of dualistic\, patriarchal forms and recover the life-affirming beauty of our Christian roots\, nothing could be more welcome than this exquisite little volume.” \nAdditional resources available at: https://abwoon.org/
