Hi friends!

In this episode of the podcast, Neil concludes with the two part series on Lamentations. I am encouraged by the practice of sitting with the Divine Presence, the Holy Spirit in the midst of lament and questions. It is a difficult place to be, but we are not alone, and even the edges of grief are safe in the presence of God.

The meditation starts at 03:31, if you’d like to jump right to it.

Season 2, Episode 1 - Lectio Divina on Lamentations 3: 1-3, 18-24

Hi friends,

Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast!

After a pretty long hiatus, we are starting Season 2 of the podcast, focusing on sustainability and serving by offering episodes that give space for connection with God. 

Not much is changing except that we’ll be doing shorter introductions, with occasional podcast episodes that are just times to catch up on what and how we are doing around here. 

I also have ideas of episodes that are simple readings of scripture or prayers. Let’s see what comes up!

The meditation starts at 03:55, if you’d like to jump right to it. This week it’s a Lectio Divina on Lamentations 3: 1-3, 18-24 with Neil.

We've been on hiatus, but we're starting again soon with Season 2 of the podcast.

Hi dear friends,

Thanks so much for your patience as the podcast has been on an unannounced hiatus. As some (but not all) of you know, we have spent time recently helping some of our community members (Brendan and Leaf, dear, dear, important, essential community members) transition back to their home country. Even the words home country feel strange. Country of citizenship, we might say.

The move was unexpected, health-related, and very sad. We all did our best to smother the situation in love, and we are grieving, especially since many people who usually help with our community in Pai, long term and short term, cannot come back into Thailand at this time.

Thus, a hiatus in the podcast. And in this time, I have been dreaming up new things, envisioning how to best serve and encourage through this medium.

So, we will be launching Season 2 of the Shekina Meditation Podcast! Look for it soon. :)

See you then,

love,

Rae
