In this three-class series we will explore the roots of the Hail Mary Prayer as direct experience of Her.
One of the earliest stories about the origins of the rosary opens us to the beauty and transmission of this poetry. The deep wisdom that this story points us toward is the experience of the embodiment of the creative power of sound and the fertility of sacred speech.
When we offer the gifts of our breath and attention, we activate this holy germ of Becoming, awakening the creativity and intimacy carried within these sound-seeds. Through music, story and practice, we will get curious about how we make and experience sound, discovering how we can begin to relate to these Mother-Seed sounds with our whole being, giving us direct access to a different level of prayer, language and attunement to the Mother. When we consciously experience these ancient building-blocks of a felt language, a direct language, we spark an intimate and embodied conversation between our heart and the heart of Mother Mariam…and we return Her holy echo... as flowers. Prayers are flowers and flowers are prayers.
