Prayer as Portal to Possibility:
An Invitation to Radical Engagement

Rev. Diane Berke welcomes Micah Bucey

Please join us on Thursday, February 24th, as One Spirit founder Diane Berke welcomes Micah Bucey, minister at Judson Memorial Church and author of The Book of Tiny Prayer, for an evening of reimagining and demystifying prayer. Micah will guide us to explore the four main imperatives of prayer - Attention, Intention, Time, and Quiet – and lead us into an embodied exploration of prayer as a portal to personal and collective transformation. Whether you’re a regular pray-er, a curious pray-er, or a non-pray-er, we’ll co-create a sacred and playful space to ask questions, compose blessings, and together reimagine what prayer can be.

FACILITATORS:

Micah Bucey

Micah Bucey describes himself as “a progressive faith leader, a flaming fairy, and an enthusiastic fan who writes, speaks, and extravagantly celebrates the intersections between expansive spirituality, radical social justice, and unfettered creativity.” He currently serves as Minister at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village and as a regular contributor to SpiritualityandPractice.com, and is the author of The Book of Tiny Prayer, published by Fordham University Press. While ordained in the Christian tradition, Micah’s imagination is most activated by an interspiritual approach that celebrates the diverse ways that divinity manifests in everything and everyone. He prefers questions over answers, weird over normal, authentic over perfect, and funny over formal, and cares deeply about healing souls and spirits that have been hurt by those who use religion as an excuse to shame, damage, and dismiss.
