Sacred Seeing

We are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands of images each day, and many we look at for just a few seconds before moving on.

Visio Divina (Sacred or Divine Seeing) is the practice of praying with the "eyes of the heart". It is the slow, thoughtful contemplation of a photograph, painting, or work of art, that invites the Divine Presence to speak to us in a deeper way.

Here you are invited to contemplate just one image for several mintutes. Allow yourself to enter the image and be open to what is there for you. If you need help getting started, click on one of the guided videos.

Those who journal may wish to have your writing or drawing tools nearby.

You are welcome to share your experience by clicking on the comment icon beneath each image. It can be a comment, a question, a poem, or simply a single word response. (The website host requires a sign-in to prevent spamming.)

For private comments or questions, please use the Contact link at the top of the page, I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for joining me in Sacred Seeing.
