EVENING MEDITATION

Join us on Thursday evenings during the academic term at 7pm in the Central Lutheran Chapel for a 20-30 minute vespers service.

Take time away from information overload, stress, and loneliness to
1) practice being here and now, 2) increase attention to the sacred, and 3) breathe together through word, music, and silence.

Spring Dates: 4/11, 4/18, 4/25, 5/2, 5/9, 5/16, 5/23, 5/30

Grounding

Opening liturgy from enfleshed anchors us in breath and the holy tasks of living.

Gratitude

Gratitude opens our heart to the divine and one another, reminding us that we are beloved and never alone; it waters the seeds of our awareness of goodness and beauty.

Word

Wisdom-sourcing for this offering (a guided meditation, scripture, or poem) is broadly inclusive of a variety wisdom traditions, including Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Indigenous wisdom, and more.

Silence

Take time to become aware of body and breath; observe without judgment what arises in and around you. No use of this time will be “wrong;” it is the gift of active rest for your mind and heart.

Song

We sing two simple, repetitive songs each service to allow ourselves to be moved by hearing and participating in music.

Blessing

More liturgy from enfleshed wraps us in God’s loving embrace as we declare our trust and hope, sent out into the world to love and serve.
