During this time of social distancing, Rolling Ridge is launching a new series on spiritual connecting in our "Take Your Time Tuesday" videos. Here's the second installment with Rolling Ridge Program Director, John Kiemele, who introduces us to "breath prayers" or "prayers from the heart" which allow you to breathe deeply with the Spirit - in and out - to help you breathe in peace and breathe out chaos. Amid the uncertainties and fears you may feel, breath prayers help you slow down as you take your time, be still and know that God is God. Share your comments below the video, stay safe, and look forward to next week's installment of Take Your Time Tuesday.
John Kiemele, PhD, is a wellbeing educator and spiritual director who companions individuals, teaches seminars and classes on spirituality, lifestyle change and deep listening/spiritual direction, leads contemplative retreats, and serves as director of The Listening Collective at Rolling Ridge.

He is Director Emeritus of a dispersed community of contemplative companions in the greater Seattle area called Selah Center, former Executive Director of SoulStream Initiatives in western Canada, and is an ordained clergy having served congregations across the US and Canada.
