L.I.V.E. – Rest and Play as Spiritual Practice
With Dr. Samantha L. Miller
May 10, 2023
Play is a neglected spiritual discipline. Most of us find it difficult to keep rest with any regularity. But God has called us to Sabbath rhythms, and play is largely about the imagination and joy, which are crucial elements of faith. Come for a conversation about how rest and play can shape our imaginations to see God more clearly, follow him more nearly, and love him more dearly.
St. Gertrude’s L.I.V.E. (Living In a Virtual Environment) offers online programs to further opportunities for prayer, learning, community, and spiritual growth from a Benedictine perspective. We look forward to bringing St. Gertrude’s to you, wherever you are.
