In the midst of social distancing, Jim Oakes is offering a weekly Yoga Nidra practice you can access via live-stream from anywhere. This practice is to cultivate a sense of inner resourcefulness to support meeting all the sensations, emotions, thoughts, and joys present during these unprecedented times. This 40-minute guided meditation enables recognition of the peace of mind which is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life. Each practice will include time for a chat session where you can share your questions, reflections, and concerns, followed by a guided meditation practice and a closing opportunity to chat. These sessions are free to all and you are invited to extend the invitation to your wider community. No meditation experience is necessary.

Yoga Nidra Preparation Recommendations:
Find a comfortable, quiet place where you can be peaceful for an hour
Dress in comfortable clothes and set-up your space with any other atmospheric elements that support your practice
You can practice in a chair, in bed, on a yoga mat with props to support you and a blanket to keep you warm
Please mute your microphone when you come into the meeting

Art Conversations -
NEW CLASS!
Rather than watch another Netflix show, why not learn something new. Join Art Conversations in a four-week art history series taught online by Art History Professor, and St. Bartholomew's parishioner, Rachel Blankenship. Each week's content will center around a theme which we will unearth by way of art history. A week at a time, we will pay special attention to one artist and their artwork, an assigned reading and a reading prompt, as well as a brief video lecture. Engage with other parishioners to see how art and art history bring creativity, spirituality and community up off the screen and into our daily lives. No experience needed! Come as you are.
Weekly lesson posted on
St. Bartholomew's website
every Monday! Drop by and learn something new!

Revelation
Wednesdays, Video Recorded
This class will be video recorded each week and posted on St. Bartholomew's
YouTube
channel.
Revelation (known as the Apocalypse or insight) is one of the most engaging and disputed books of the Bible. It has inspired great works of art and music, and it has fed social upheaval and speculation about the coming end of the world. This course will ask what Revelation is, why it has played such a volatile role in Western culture, and how it continues to be meaningful to contemporary readers. All are welcome!
