A New Quest for the Spirit - An Introduction to Christian Meditation
What if instead of just studying God you could experience God yourself? What if instead of just reading about what Jesus said to others 2,000 years ago, you could hear what Jesus has to say to you today? What if instead of just longing for God's peace and love you could encounter the peace and love the living God yearns to share? Now that would be a Quest worth taking, and you're invited! Where Indiana Jones and Monty Python sought the metaphorical Holy Grail, our Quest for the Spirit course searches for the true grail behind the metaphor: the true joy and peace God promises for those who seek him.
What is the Quest for the Spirit Course?
Our Quest for the Spirit course offers an introduction to the ancient spiritual disciplines that have offered a hundred generations of the faithful gateways to the experience of God. This Quest draws together meditation forms from ancient monastic traditions (e.g. Benedictine lectio divina and Gregorian chant) guided meditations developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, and Christian meditations developed by mystics who had encountered Eastern traditions (breath and body awareness).
Absolutely no experience is required. Quest is a "come as you are" party!
