Find Those Things that Move Your Spirit

I think education has a spiritual dimension. There is a way, that if you could find in your inner self those things that move your spirit, that is a major part of your own education.”

— Joan Countryman, 2019

Listen to the James Nayler quote that Joan Countryman says was so important to her spiritual formation. 

How does your body help you connect to spirit?

How does physical movement change your spiritual experience? How do you prepare your body for worship? How does your spiritual life enhance your appreciation of the physical world?
