The Solitude Practice Session 02: Encounter with Our Self

Practicing the Way·Practicing the Way·32:16

Solitude can be deeply refreshing, but just as often, it can feel like painful emotional surgery. As we notice and name the pain we’ve been avoiding through distraction, God forms us into the people he’s always desired us to become. The practice for this session is to notice and name your emotions and give them to God during solitude. This session is from a Practice made by Practicing the Way. All our resources are free, thanks to the generosity of The Circle and other givers. This Practice is made to be run in community, in small groups or with your friends. To set up your group to use this resource, download or print the Companion Guide, and use other tools like the Rule of Life Builder or the Spiritual Health Reflection, get started here: https://launch.practicingtheway.org/.
