Join meditation teacher Tia Norman for a peaceful and grounding session of Breath Prayer, an ancient Christian practice that weaves prayer into the rhythm of your breath. Rooted in early Eastern Church traditions and often called the “Prayer of the Heart,” this simple yet profound practice invites you to synchronize your prayer with your breathing. Whether you’re new to breath prayer or looking to deepen your practice, this session will offer a way to “pray without ceasing” as people have been doing for centuries.
