Introduction, Session 5: The Power of Stillness
In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
The power of air is the power of stillness, of listening and openness and breathing. The story for this session brings together Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond with Elijah of Hebrew scripture finding God in the "still, small, voice." Participants experience the power of stillness through meditation, honor a spiritual tradition of air by creating prayer flags, and add air symbols to the Circle of Elements mural.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
