Wednesdays, May 28 - July 9, LMH Room A, 10-11am. Led by Cynthia Tolbert. For almost 20 years Cynthia Tolbert has practiced Centering Prayer, a silent meditation of consent to the presence and action of the Divine within. In essence, contemplative prayer is simply a wordless, trusting opening of self to the Divine presence, however you name that presence, The Divine, the One Light, God, the Creator. It is not a guided meditation, you do not offer any words in prayer, you just listen and open yourself to the Divine. Centering Prayer will be on hiatus after July 9 until September.
First and third Wednesdays of the month, Morse Conference Room (across from Gift Shop) at Anna Jaques Hospital, 12:30-2pm. This support group for patient family members and staff is facilitated by Rev. Jane Tuohy, interfaith minister and chaplain; Nancy Kidd, retired hospice trainer and bereavement support counselor; and Linda Harding. For information, email Rev. Jane at jane.tuohy@frsuu.org or Nancy Kidd at nankdd@gmail.com.
