Download or read book Sacred Playgrounds written by Jacob Sorenson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Playgrounds explores the wisdom of camping ministry for Christian education and faith formation, examining its rich history and fundamental characteristics with compelling stories, groundbreaking research, and theological grounding. Christian summer camp is an integral part of the ecology of faith formation in North America, though it has received surprisingly little attention in the scholarly community until now. Camping ministry is often dismissed as simple fun and games or a brief spiritual high that does not last. However, camp experiences often serve as deeply relational and immersive faith experiences that have lasting impacts on participants. Five fundamental characteristics combine dynamically in the effective camp experience: participatory, faith-centered, safe space, relational, and unplugged from home. Together, they open the space for participants to consider new understandings of God, to have time for deep self-reflection, and to build intentional Christian community. These camp experiences are essential components in a larger ecology of faith formation, including the home and congregation. The insight and evidence presented in this book demonstrate that the contributions of camping ministry must be taken seriously among scholars, Christian educators, and ministry professionals.
Download or read book Seasons of the Sacred written by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and published by The Golden Sufi Center. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasons of the Sacred weaves together poems, images, and stories of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, reconnecting us to our roots in the cycles of nature and our own soul. As our world appears more and more out of balance, our destruction of the natural world increasing, there is a vital need to remember what is essential, simple, and sacred. Likening Spring to falling in love, Summer with abundance and spiritual awakening, and Autumn with fruition and wisdom, this book continuously reflects the profound resonance of humanity within nature. Never more relevant than now, the chapter on Winter helps the reader remember what is most essential, showing how there is meaning and even peace amidst the most devastating losses, and how all life belongs to these deeper patterns of change. The book draws from such a variety of sources, such as Rumi, Hafiz, Lao Tzu, Rabia, Julian of Norwich, T.S. Eliot, and others. Each chapter opens with a unique woodcut or engraving image, further illustrating the beauty of our seasons. Vaughan-Lee adeptly connects the reader to the deepest envisioning of contemporary challenges. Climate catastrophe, refugees, cultural degradation, and political divisiveness are all contextualized within natural cycles of birth, loss, and transition, and the reader is guided to listen through the fear and anxiety of our age to the deeper ground of belonging that calls from even the most destitute inner and outer landscapes. Seasons of the Sacred is Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee’s fifth contribution to his spiritual ecology series, which places the human story within the story of the Earth and compels the examination of attitudes, beliefs, and habits in relation to the ongoing desecration, ecological devastation—and potential restoration—of our common home. “Vaughan-Lee encourages reconnecting with the Earth in this heartfelt compilation of essays, poems, and illustrations…. Suitable for readers of all spiritual persuasions, Vaughan-Lee’s soothing observations will inspire a more mindful contemplation of Earth’s rhythms.” —Publishers Weekly “Seasons of the Sacred is a beckoning down into the simple rhythms of nature. With his guiding eloquence, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee moves us into conversation with the sacred, calling our awareness to the concealed gifts of each season. Drawing on the ancient poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, Julian of Norwich, Wordsworth, and others, we can’t help but fall into step with the numinous found in ordinary life.” —Toko-pa Turner, author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sacred Santa is an inquiry into the religious dimension of postmodern culture, seriously considering the widespread perception that contemporary culture witnesses a profound struggle between two antithetical systems -- a collision of two worlds, both religious, yet each with vivid visions of the sacred that differ radically with regard to what the sacred is and what it means to human life and social endeavor.

Download or read book Dancing the Sacred Wheel written by Frances Billinghurst and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are eight seasonal festivals (referred to as sabbats) that make up the ""Wheel of the Year"". ""Dancing the Sacred Wheel"" draws on the author's own personal experience of following a traditional Pagan spiritual path and creating ritual over 20 years in southern Australia. Combining traditional Pagan lore with history in order to develop a relationship with her local environment, the author also offers invaluable pointers as to how to incorporate the localised elements into something that also provides a ?traditional? feel. ""Dancing the Sacred Wheel"" not only provides an in-depth look the folklore and myth associated with each sabbat, but also discusses ways of creating specific rituals and observances that acknowledge each seasonal ?gateway? when the local environment is reflecting something completely different. ""Dancing the Sacred Wheel"" challenges the reader, regardless of which hemisphere they reside, to draw inspiration from their environment, and to create their own unique Wheel of the Year.

Book excerpt: Sacred Summer is an account of Seelenfreund’s use of simple resilience tools during the challenging summer of 2020. COVID-19 was raging, children were home, business was slow, and anxiety was high. The author, like many others, struggled. Through humorous and heartfelt personal anecdotes, she documents how she worked to increase her resilience to make managing life a little easier. She did not endure tragedy - just inconvenience, stress, annoyance, and worry. Resilience is not restricted to catastrophe though, and everyone can benefit from enhancing their ability to rebound from difficult situations. Seelenfreund demonstrates that small changes in perspective, behavior, and action can make a deep impact on one’s life. She shares tools and worksheets, as well as specific examples and resources, that make the book suitable for everyone wanting to build resilience in their own life.

Book excerpt: On the day after my 13th birthday, my mother died. The day my mother died everything changed. And I mean everything. Within the space of four weeks, the home we'd lived in was packed up and sold, and after flying 2,000 kilometres south from the wide, open countryside to the complexities of city suburbia, my little sister and I were sent to live with different parts of the family. Oh, and I started high school. All in all, it was an abrupt, tearing, tearful parting. It felt like a door slammed on that chapter of my life… Hermetically sealed, never fully integrated into the following chapters. I pined for the lands of my childhood for years, but I never went back. It was on my 'to-do' list all right, but what scars would going back re-open? Would stifled grief, all black and ugly, come pouring out? Would going back liberate my ghosts, or unveil new ones? I wanted the answers to these questions… But, honestly, I was scared… Then, when I was 26, my estranged father died unexpectedly. Death changed everything again. But this time I was an adult, this time I was the conscious leader of my own adventures. Opening the potential Pandora's Box of my past became really, really important. Being loudly reminded of the fact you will be dead one day has a tendency to shake your priorities up a tad! It was time to go where the pain was and heal it, once and for all. This is the day-by-day story of the summer of 2012/2013, my 'Sacred Summer'. I went back, I finally went back… And it was one of the most intense journeys of my life…***The sequel to my first book '100 Days of Morning' (Which chronicled the 100 days of 'radical, loving change' directly following my father's unexpected death in mid 2012.), this second book Living Book 'A Sacred Summer' is both a continuation of the first and a stand alone story in its own right. My style is a mash-up of Bridget-Jones'-Diary-meets-Eckhart-Tolle-meets-Rumi. It's 'everyday life' flavoured liberally with irreverent spirituality, sprinkled with kernels of deep truth and knowing, and spread decadently with lashings of love! Given that I'm a passionate foodie and can't seem to avoid the food metaphors, let me say this – These words, these stories, will feed you well. Yes, my friend, they will feed you well!
