Foundations For Spiritual Practice

“Foundations For Spiritual Practice,” serves as an introduction to the Onespirit Interfaith Foundation course: “Spiritual Practice Circle,” due to commence in January 2024.

Christopher’s focus is on creating a robust foundation for spiritual practice, paralleling the necessity of a healthy diet and exercise for the body with the need for the heart-mind to work hygienically. He suggests that consistent commitment is essential for true development, emphasising that sporadic engagement won’t yield the profound effects that regular practice can offer. He emphasises the importance of a strong inner foundation for building a spiritual structure, enabling a stronger connection with one’s understanding of the divine. Practical exercises taught by Marcus gently open chakras, enhancing the student’s sensitivity to the subtle world.

📅 Date: Monday 20th November

The Art of the Pause

True listening isn’t about waiting our turn, it’s a loving gesture of presence. In interfaith spaces, listening deeply creates space for stories, identity, grief, joy. It’s not about understanding perfectly, but about saying, “I’m here with you,” and offering connection as an act of love.
