 The options below will be used during worship during the "Wiggle, Wander, and Wonder" portion of our time together. Zoom Options:1. Movement: Gentle Chair Yoga with Heather McCornack Sign out of the Zoom room and click the button below to access a brief chair yoga practice led by Heather McCornack. You may want to turn on the captions (look at the bottom of the video for the CC symbol) since the room Heather is in is a little echoey. Heather graciously volunteered her services to create the recording for us today. If you'd like to practice yoga with Heather in person she teaches adult chair yoga at Meadowlark on Tuesdays and Thursdays (11:15am-noon) and the cost is only $10 a month. This class is open to the public. When you've completed the yoga practice, just log back into the Zoom room to rejoin us for the rest of today's worship service. 2. Language of Water (solo or in with others on Zoom) During Compassion Camp, we are exploring the relationship between humans and creation, particularly in that we all share basic needs such as shelter, food, and now water. All of creation has its own way of communicating, whether through sound or movement or even hormones emitted. Water, too, has its own communication style. You're invited to listen to the various types of water sounds linked below. Listen to each one in silence for at least one full minute. What do you hear the water communicating to you? You can listen on your own and then reflect in a journal OR you can gather together with others in the Zoom room and discuss your reflections in a breakout room. There are no right or wrong answers. This is a poetic exercise in practicing compassion and empathy for creation. • Brook • Ocean • Rain • Waterfall • Rainforest • River In-Person Options:1.

Quiet Meditation in the Sanctuary Each week we'll reserve the Sanctuary as a quiet place for contemplation, meditation, and prayer. Consider moving around the room to a different place - the chancel, balcony, and floor are all options! You may want to sit with your eyes closed or open. You're welcome to walk quietly, stretch, or lay down. You may choose to journal or draw.  Comments are closed.
