Twelve Simple Words

A Word a Day. A Word a Week. A Word a Month. The beauty of this course is that you can listen closely and go at your own rhythm.  Twelve Simple Words brings movement from Yoga and ChiGong to Brian McLaren's book entitled Naked Spirituality.  Each of the twelve words has an introduction from Brian and accompanying movements by Suzanne. We hope that bringing in this insight and movement will deepen your experience.

                           Some thoughts from Brian and Suzanne:

You might consider yourself a spiritual seeker...you may be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist, or from a secular background. Whatever your spiritual past, we believe this integration of physical postures and spiritual practices can bring balance and help develop both outer and inner harmony to deepen love for our Creator, ourselves, and others.

In the tradition of Thomas Merton and many others,

We believe that Christians have insights and practices to share with other faiths, and other faiths have valuable resources to share with Christians. But in the sharing process, each faith must maintain its own unique identity and integrity. In that spirit, we have sought to integrate compatible practices, insights, and resources in ways that will enhance your spiritual life, whatever your background and wherever you are in your journey.

Whenever we make more room for the Spirit of the Divine in our hearts, we're transformed. And whenever we're experiencing transformation, the world is nudged a little closer to what it's capable of becoming.

Suzanne Spangler Jackson and Brian McLaren
