Nairobi, 23 April 2011
This was first of the training that I offered on Christian mindfulness training. It is an outflow from my ongoing PhD project; however, this one day workshop was not part of my research. This training is now becoming one of my passions, as I also integrate elements of this package in other trainings and retreats.
Here is the outline of the contents of the training:
1. ‘Jesus Prayer’ (an ancient Christian Contemplative Practice) in 7 steps, with the help of the Audio CD that I have recently prepared. Click here for more details on the CD.
2. How to journal – as a means to deal with one’s emotions and to grow spiritually.
3. A Labyrinth Walk through a prayer garden at DBYES, Nairobi, getting in touch with oneself, God, and others.
The Holy Saturday training had 29 participants, most of whom were professionals. Besides the training, the participants were given a copy of the Audio CD on Jesus Prayer, a Journal, a Prayer-bead and writing material as part of a package, besides, of course, two teas and lunch for a cost of Ksh.700 ($9).
There was a strong request from the participants for another training, in which, they thought their friends could participate.
