Holy Week Meditation - Good Friday
Breath is life.
A sacred interchange between ourselves and our environment;
constant, though changing.
Breath nourishes the body.
Breath creates space in the mind.
Breath slows time.
Let go.
Shed
dark layers, weighted surfaces
the armour holding together false security.
Christ, vulnerable, given for you.
Body of Christ, vulnerable, our greatest strength.
Courage, dear one.
Take up this cross.
In the discomfort, there is a gift.
Abide.
Corps Bara Dance Theatre is a thriving contemporary dance company that explores life's meaningful questions. We intentionally invite the spirituality of each artist into the creation and performance of dance works, by including spiritual practices, discussion, discernment and the fostering of vulnerability within our community's processes.
These Holy Week meditations were inspired by Corps Bara's Resonant Soul; a weekly guided Visio Divina practice using artfully crafted dance films that focus on hopeful themes, like breath, joy, renewal and empathy. We would love to share these with the Unmooring community at Corpsbara.com/resonant-soul.
