Faith Curriculum Library: Tapestry of Faith: Spirit in Practice: An Adult Program for Developing A Regular Practice of the Spirit

Spiritual Preparation

Leaders are encouraged to prepare for the workshop not only by gathering supplies and reviewing the workshop's activities, but also by engaging in a body practice. Such practices include body awareness, dance, yoga, tai chi, breath-centered meditation, or whatever your spirit and physical abilities allow. You may wish to journal about the experience afterwards.

Take some time to consider the spirit with which you will approach the workshop's body movement and mindful eating activities. Focus on bringing an attitude of open generosity that gives participants permission to be less inhibited as they move and eat.
