Encountering Your Beauty in She Whose Thick Thighs Save Lives
We make deeper peace with our bodies when we encounter ourselves in the body of the divine. In this session, Christena will share images and stories that illuminate the vast physical diversity of the 450 Black Madonnas around the world.
In this session you will:
Discover how finding yourself in the story of She Whose Thick Thighs Save Lives can transform your relationship with your body and with the bodies of all people
Reflect on and identify the most impactful lies that society has told you about your body
Reflect on, name, and describe the God that you need as you deepen your love for your body
Engage in a self-compassion meditation that focuses on the body
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
A special note from Christena: Beloved pilgrims, you do not need to “prepare” for each pilgrimage stop. Please come as you are. The Black Madonna doesn't need you to "study" and "practice" incessantly in order to be on this journey. However, we are offering additional resources as a way to support and nourish you on this journey and as a point of connection between you and your fellow pilgrims.
