Examen is a simple daily prayer for growing our awareness of God and the maturity of our souls.
In this 3 month cohort, we will meet every 2 weeks to learn how to pray the examen. We will explore this prayer together through the writings of wise guides and the experiences of one another. Our hope is that we will come away with new friendships and a more personal daily experience of Jesus.
The Examen, although simple in concept, has great depth and complexity. John does a remarkable job of blending these aspects, equipping the participant with tools for implementing this great gift. Although I had struggled with practicing the Examen prior to the cohort, it has now become a companion.
