Lenten Reflection Day is designed to take time to be mindful of what Lent calls us to do and who to be. We will discuss and tease out the layers of the three traditional practices taken up during Lent (prayer, fasting, and almsgiving). Join me in a day of mixed modality mindfulness hosted by Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. We will reflect on the three Lenten practices and as Pope Francis suggests find ways to make that practice concrete. Each person will make a set of Lenten cards to count the days of Lent. Like it’s familiar counting cousin, the Advent calendar, these cards will mark the days of Lent. Instead of the candy or treats of the Advent calendar your Lenten cards will challenge you each day to make the practice of Lent concrete. The day will also include mixed modality prayer and meditation and community kinship.
This workshop is for all – no art experience necessary, just an open heart and mind! Our 40 Lenten Cards will be made as torn paper collage, an accessible technique that is designed for all levels from those with art-phobia to those art-phonemes in our midst, come and enjoy.
