What do you actually DO in solitude? In this episode, we get really practical as we share practical tools and practices you can engage in during solitude, including various apps like Lectio 365 and Pray As You Go. We also walk you through a technique called “download” and introduce you to The Welcoming Prayer by Thomas Keating.
You’ll also hear about the new REALIFE Practice Membership launching in January 2025, which is a space to help you integrate your faith into everyday life through community support, live calls, group coaching, and more. This episode is full of ideas and practical steps you can take to support you in your practice of solitude.
