Advent is a season of waiting, of holding still in the dark mornings for the light that is coming. This year, you are invited to engage in the practice of Lectio Divina and Visio Divina on Zoom for a time of contemplative prayer through the weeks of Advent.
During our morning gathering together we will enter into a time of quiet reflection while we pray with the various images and words of Advent. Visio Divina is a way of sacred seeing while Lectio Divina is a way of reading scripture or poetry with an eye for what shimmers for you the most.
At the end of each session, there will be a time to share what moved you, if you wish, and a time to listen to one another.
During this Advent time, we will practice a time of centering and drawing closer to God. Our focus will be on cultivating quietness and intentional reflection rather than getting caught up in early holiday commercialism.
Our sessions will take place on Monday and Thursday mornings during Advent beginning on Monday, November 30th from 8:30-9:00 AM.
Our dates will be Nov. 30, Dec.3, Dec. 7, Dec. 10, Dec. 14, Dec. 17, and Dec. 21.
VIRTUAL:FREE with a suggested $5 goodwill offering to support the ongoing mission of Wisdom House.
My name is Lisa Hudkins, I am a Spiritual Companion, a Supervisor of Spiritual Companions, and a former member of the teaching team that trains interns to become Spiritual Companions at the Spiritual Life Center in Hartford.
My practice of Spiritual Companioning is rooted in a love of deep and holy listening to those who are seeking to find the Divine in their life. All seekers’ journeys are respected and welcomed since we are all loved by God. I believe that life is full of invitations to live our best existence and become closer to the Divine spark that is in each of us. As a Spiritual Companion, we will listen together to discover how the Divine is working in your being.
I come presenting my authentic self, having faced many years engaging in my own internal work as well as my own spiritual direction journey. I have been an educator for over 40 years, a career that brought me tremendous joy. This joy has now transferred to my role as a Spiritual Companion. I have a long, loving marriage to my husband and two tremendous adult children. My husband and I have had five beautiful boxer dogs in our life. Our present dog, Jersey, is a rescue who experienced incredible trauma as a puppy. She is now living her best life!
I enjoy reading books, poetry, cooking, writing in my journal, working in my gardens, and being out in nature, which makes me feel alive! Working on issues of discernment, trauma, and contemplative practices are topics I bring to my sessions. It will be my honor to accompany you on your journey and find the delight that you are looking for in your life!
