Our Lives As Prayer: April 2024

"A prayer is one who prays”

Join us at Gateway House for the Our Lives As Prayer workshop with Elizabeth Cunningham
Sunday, April 21 | 3 -6pm | $30 donation


We welcome everyone who prays, who wants to pray, who needs prayer, who is a prayer.

Through guided meditation and interactive reflection, we will explore our experiences of prayer, the many forms prayer can take: spoken, sung, silent, tactile, embodied, within a religious tradition and outside of one, as part of a group or in solitude. Together we will consider ways to create a daily prayer practice or to refresh an existing one. We will complete our time with our own prayer circle.

Space is limited, please register to reserve your spot.

A lifelong novelist, she is best known for The Maeve Chronicles, a series of award-winning novels featuring a Celtic Magdalen. My Life as a Prayer is her nonfiction debut. Her workshop “Our Lives as Prayer” is designed to share her work in a community context.
