A 12-week Christian Lenten journey of self-discovery, interior freedom, authentic love, and deeper communion with God.

January 13 – March 31, 2027 | Wednesdays, 7:00–8:30 PM ET | Live on Zoom

 “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34)

How can I love when it is hard to love? What shapes the way I think, feel, respond, and relate to others? How can greater awareness of my interior life help me grow in freedom, deepen my relationships, and become more receptive to God's presence? What does it truly mean to live and pray from the heart?

Join Shereen Yusuff and Fr. Andreas Kramarz LC for a 12-week experiential Christian formation course. Beginning in January and continuing through Lent and the celebration of Easter, this course offers an opportunity to prepare our hearts for Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

As we grow in self-awareness, interior freedom, and our capacity to love, we will also be invited to reflect on the areas of our lives that call for conversion, renewal, and a deeper relationship with Christ. This journey will help participants experience Lent not simply as a season of sacrifice, but as an invitation to transformation—preparing us to enter the joy and hope of Easter with hearts more open to God's grace.

The course brings together the wisdom of Christian anthropology and theology with a combination of neuroscience, breathing exercises and practices of self-reflection .

Through Scripture, personal reflection, and prayer participants will explore the relationship between body, mind, heart, and spirit—and how this understanding can transform the way we live, love, and pray.

What to Expect

Each 90-minute live session includes:

• Christian anthropology and theology with Fr. Andreas, exploring Scripture, the human person, Christian love, and our relationship with God.

• Experiential teaching and guided practices with Shereen, integrating science, nervous-system awareness, self-exploration, and practical exercises.

• Personal reflection and prayer, with opportunities to ask questions, engage in meaningful discussion, and apply what you learn throughout the week.

Participants will also receive weekly reflection questions and practical exercises to support their journey between sessions.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is open to Christians from all traditions and everyone curious and open to the content offered, whether you are new to exploring the relationship between body and spirit or are seeking to deepen an established life of faith and prayer.

No prior experience with breathwork, movement or prayer practice is necessary.
