AoP - The Art Of Prayer
An online interactive workshop with Dana Ganihar and Baruch Brener
The Art of Prayer (AoP) is a regenerative learning approach exploring a core component of our shared human existence - our natural capacity for prayer. It is a framework of practices, in which people from all walks of life and traditions, religious and secular, prayers and non-prayers - are invited to reconnect and rediscover gateways into the field of prayer.
Presented by The International Focusing Institute - Dana Ganihar and Baruch Brenner

The Art of Prayer (AoP) is a regenerative learning approach exploring a core component of our shared human existence - our natural capacity for prayer. It is a framework of practices, in which people from all walks of life and traditions, religious and secular, prayers and non-prayers - are invited to reconnect and rediscover gateways into the field of prayer.
The practice of AoP forms a complementary aspect of POF - Prayer Oriented Focusing - in which Focusing practices are integrated into an embodied, living model for existence.
In this workshop we will:
- Introduce the approach as developed in Shakio Institute
- Practice movements of AoP
- Open space for questions and discussion
- Share details concerning upcoming learning opportunities
