2012 Lenten Series
Soundings: Contemporary Practices For Going Deeper
March 5 - 26
Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 pm
Brownlee Hall, South Campus
1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, OH 43212
Lent is a time of going deep, into the dark and mysterious substance and depth of our own souls. During Tuesday evenings in March, you are invited to engage in spiritual practices that can serve as "soundings" for your soul.
Sailors the world over used to throw a weighted line into the water off of the ship to gauge the "current depth" of the water. This was known as "to sound" or "a sounding." In spiritual formation, spiritual practices can become "soundings" for our soul work, witnessing and assessing the depths of our own soul.
During our Lenten Series this year, we will plumb these depths taking "soundings" of various forms, including exploration of how fractals, music, photography, and movement may all be practices when looked at through the lens of contemplation and meditation.
For instance, the Rev. Pete Diehl will present jazz and video meditation exercises, and spiritual directors Dan Schleppi and David Zeils will present photography as iconography and fractal imagery meditation, respectively.
The sessions will include informal teachings regarding each week’s practice, as well as individual participation and reflection on the experience and small or large group discussion. More details will appear soon on the church website and bulletin insert. For now, reserve Tuesday evenings, March 5 – 26, and possibly April 3 as well, from 7 – 8:30 pm in Brownlee Hall, South Campus. Open to the public, a free-will offering will be taken at each session.
Spiritual directors Barbara Davis and Nan Weir, and the Rev. David Hett, are the planning team for this series for the Adult Learning Council.
