Embodied Prayer: Reconnecting Our Whole Selves To God

4–8 May 2026 (Mon–Fri)

Neuroscience now tells us what God has always known – as embodied beings we encounter God through our through our soul, spirit, mind and body. We’ll be using physical movement in prayer to clarify and connect what’s going on in our hearts and heads through the body. We encounter God as we pray, including with our creation in Genesis. We can attach to God through stories in the Old Testament, and receive Jesus’ love through the gospels. All are welcome, and we’ll work gently within the limitations of our individual bodies. Come and worship the Lord in spirit, soul, mind and body!

Amy Boucher Pye and Kristen Rubow have been friends since they were toddlers.
