“Visio Divina” (aka “Prayerful Looking”) is a spiritual practice by which we open ourselves to the presence of the Divine. Guided group meditations on works of art will introduce the practice. An opportunity will follow for each of us to seek out a work that sparks awareness of the Spirit’s role in our engagement with important personal issues. We will close by touring and discussing the works of art chosen by group members.
Co-sponsored by Wellspring at St. Martin’s, Interfaith Philadelphia, and the Office of Community Engagement at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
