Befriending Your Soul:
Learning to Listen with Your Whole Body through Inner Relationship Focusing
Free 90-minute Workshop
Thursday, July 24th
1– 2:30 PM central daylight time
Hosted on ZOOM
Brief Overview:
You are invited to an introductory, interactive workshop where we will learn ways to befriend everything that is real and genuine inside of us. Together with the indwelling Holy Spirit, we will practice welcoming our bodily sensations, feelings, thoughts and emotions that come through the felt-sense and a process known as Inner-Relationship Focusing.
Befriending Your Soul courses and groups are designed to support you as you learn to befriend what you find within your soul, housed in a body that has been intricately and wonderfully made. We will practice forms of compassionate listening to our body, mind, heart, and soul.
Some questions we will address:
· Why would a Christian want to learn to listen to their emotions and body?
· What if I was always taught to not trust my body or emotions because they can lead me astray. Why would I want to listen to them?
· What fruit might we anticipate from creating a habit of listening with all our senses and relating to what we discover?
Some things we will practice:
· Taking some time to pause and listen to what we are noticing in our body,
· A compassionate, Christ-like, way of relating to what we discover in our body.
· Noticing the emotions or body feelings we don’t like, value, or appreciate.
There will be time for your questions, too!
Are you ready to slow down and learn to listen in incremental, trauma sensitive ways that bring about lasting transformation, healing and wholeness through your whole body?
This is the mystery, Christ in you, the hope of glory – Colossians 1:27
