“The Examen is a practice for discerning the voice and activity of God within the flow of the day.” Adele Ahlberg Calhoun
Recall you are in the presence of God.
Look at your day with gratitude.
Ask for help from the Holy Spirit.
Review your day. Noticing consolation and desolation.
End with giving thanks for the day.
The Examen in The Orchard
Every Sunday evening at 9pm there is the opportunity to gather live and spend 15 minutes reviewing our week using variations of The Examen prayer above. This session will also be recorded and available for members only on catch up. I have practiced the Examen daily, alone and weekly, with our church community for over 4 years and I cannot recommend this practice enough!
