Nurturing spirituality. This meal has at its core reflection, meditation and response.

All food is spiritual. Whatever your understanding of the spiritual it saturates the physical world, this is especially seen in food and drink. Almost every faith sees food as sacred, and believes that in sharing and eating together with intention it is possible for spirituality to be nurtured. Some of Jesus’ most profound teaching on spiritual intimacy is set around food. For him, it is always a full meal, never just a symbolic ritual.

While respecting faith traditions, we would encourage you to explore the possibilities of meals that stimulate and cultivate spirituality. A simple leaderless liturgy may be helpful, or begin with silence with space for spontaneity. Let the group decide what would work best – explore and experiment. Give us food for thought with your stories.
