Practice Matters
4th Tuesdays (Feb - May) at 7 - 8:30pm Eastern In this 5 session once-a-month group, participants explore a featured spiritual practice from the world religions and then do a personal practice inspired by that month's exploration. During group time, participants share the gifts and insights they've received from learning about the featured practice and doing the personal practice they chose. Our hope is that, by getting a taste of these spiritual practices, participants will be motivated to weave one or two into their regular daily or weekly routines. Check out a sample packet here.

BioSpiritual Focusing
Four Sessions in Total : March 2, 9, 16 & 23 As a way of exploring March’s theme of Paying Attention in more depth, Soul Matters is thrilled to offer a four week class in BioSpiritual Focusing. The class will be run by UU and trained BioSpiritual Focusing teacher, Nancy Benben. Learn more about Nancy here and on our Team Page. BioSpiritual Focusing is a contemplative awareness practice that taps into the body’s wisdom to deepen spiritual awareness in a way that leads to personal growth and healing. Participants will not only experience this process but will learn how to make it a part of their personal on-going spiritual practice routine.
This 4-part series will introduce participants to the basic concepts of BioSpiritual Focusing and how it complements other contemplative practices. Here are the topics that will be covered:
