Lectio Divina ✨ Every valley shall be raised up: Meditation on Isaiah 40: 3-8 at Shekina Garden.

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 23 of the podcast! Ro and Rae start today’s episode with a little update on life around Shekina Garden in Pai, as well as an invitation to our upcoming pilgrimage in Italy. If you want to skip to the meditation, it starts at 05:20. Today is the last day of Early Bird Registration for this special opportunity coming up soon! We will be guiding our second pilgrimage retreat in Northern Italy, together with La Nuvola, from August 24-30, 2026. This will be five days and six nights together in a mountain retreat, spending time in nature, meditation, creative expression, and community while exploring the ways of Christ together. We hope you join us! You can find out all about it at https://www.shekinacommunity.com/2026.... Today’s episode is a lectio divina meditation on Isaiah 40: 3-8 with Neil. Each meditation we offer has three parts. First, Neil will offer some exercises to help you find quiet readiness for meditation. Second, he will guide you through the verses with lots of space for your own contemplation. And third, we encourage you to process your meditation by sharing your experience and thoughts— if you are meditating with others—or journaling or recording your experience in some way if you are meditating on your own.
