Description

When you think of a place of worship, what comes to mind?  

Do you think of a church building with stained glass windows or the local mosque in your neighbourhood?

In this episode, Eric Versluis uses a variety of contemplative practices, including a meditation inspired by Emily Dickinson, to help us consider the possibility that a place of worship may not be a place at all, but a posture of our hearts.
