Quarantine As Spiritual Practice

In this surreal time, what might it be like to experience quarantine as a spiritual practice?

I am hesitant to even ask the question, because it feels in some ways dismissive of what is truly hard about this extraordinary time. But I’m also hopeful that asking the question, together, and exploring it, together, might be a way for us to honor what is painful and scary in this season, and to see what it might have to teach us.

I am grateful to share this road with you. If you are nurtured at all by this episode, please share it with others. Also, share with me what it means for you to frame this time as a spiritual practice. Whether you are in quarantine, sheltering at home, or practicing social distancing, are there ways that this season is opening up connection between you and God? You can share in the comments below, by emailing me, or on social media.

We are all in this together.
