Dear friends,

We have some interesting and inspiring events coming up before the new year that we hope you can join us for!

***Spirit in the City - Engaged Prayer :: Thursday 12th December
http://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/152616242/

The next Spirit in the City will be a fascinating talk on the topic of Engaged Prayer with guest facilitator Stephen Pitcher. Stephen will talk more about the act of prayer and our own role and engagement in it. Stephen will review the characteristics of the type of prayer we are normally taught and his view on the shortcomings of this model from the perspective of both indigenous wisdom and quantum physics.
