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.
Neil is guiding a Lectio Divina on Lamentations 3: 25-33 with Neil.

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.

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

Hi beloved ones,
I am praying for all of you who are having hard conversations about racism and oppression.

And I am glad that we can offer guided meditation, which can help to center the heart and mind.

Hi, beloved ones,
My heart hurts for the world and for the U.S. right now. There is so much sorrow and pain, erupting from years of injustice. I am thankful for those who are stepping up to speak out against racism and injustice. We should all be using our voices and praying for justice and for peace.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Ro and I were able to sit together this week after a labyrinth walk meditation and record an intro to the podcast. This labyrinth meditation at the garden since February, and we did it with social distancing and masks. A new reality, same garden, same Spirit, same Creator.
Here’s what to expect in this episode of the podcast:
* We talk about what’s been going on around here, including the little bits, step by step attitude we’ve been holding.
* We’re introducing some shorter meditations, and this is the first. Ro guides a Lectio Divina from Jeremiah 17: 7-8, and the whole thing is only about 20 minutes long.

Hi beloved ones around the world,
A lot has changed in the world and I know we are all reeling from the shift. Illness, grief, loss. These things are heavy in the heart. And at the same time, each day brings beauty and love. Gifts from the Father of Lights for each moment.
We are still on our regular, scheduled break here in Pai, and will slowly begin to figure out what the next months look like for us as we are still scattered around the globe.
We will continue to podcast meditation. I have found Christ-centered meditation to be the best training ground for my heart to find stillness in the midst of the vast unknown. And also to lift me out of the immediate circumstances of my life. I hope it brings you peace as well.
Here’s what to expect in this episode of the podcast:
* A short intro by Rae, including a little of where we are in the world, and thoughts about meditation.
* Ro guides a Lectio Divina meditation on John 14:25-27. This is the last of the sessions that we recorded at Shambhala festival in Northern Thailand. It is the most authentic experience of guiding meditation at a festival, as a drum circle starts up nearby, partway through. Enjoy!
