Three Focus Areas

We will explore practices in three areas: mindfulness, fitness, and diet. We’ll show you how to do the exercises, while explaining the theology and science. The goal is to deepen your relationship with God while providing tools for resilience against depression, anxiety, and heart disease.

Christian Mindfulness

Typically known as contemplation, this tradition goes back almost 2,000 years. Explore contemporary Centering Prayer and other forms of conventional prayer that helps exercise the mind and reduce stress.

Christian Diet

Christian Dieting is called fasting and it doesn’t mean you stop eating. But it does mean you occasionally restrict your intake of meat and dairy. We’ll look at the health benefits, theology, and practice of this ancient tradition.

Movement

The need for exercise and movement is a fact of modern life. While there is no such thing as a traditional form Christian form of exercise, we explore body-weight exercises like yoga and light cardio in order to prepare the body and mind for silent prayer.
