The day will take the form of learning in small group, firstly we will look more deeply at translations of the Beatitudes from the language Jesus spoke, Aramaic, which expands and deepens our understanding of their meaning. Then we will learn some of the Beatitudes words in Aramaic, singing them and then finding ways to pray with these words using simple movements
 
 
Facilitated by Jenny WIlliams is an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland and currently works freelance promoting health and healing in ministry within churches
 
She is interested to teach ways of praying that involve our bodies, minds emotions and spirit. This facilitates a broader understanding of the healing tradition in Christianity in a way that links with a growing understanding within healthcare of the importance of well-being, spirit and a sense of purpose and to our lives.
