Self-Directed Prayer Stations
1:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Quiet Meditation 
  • Affirmative Prayers
  • Journaling/Reflection Questions
Prayer Box
  • Place your prayer requests in the Prayer Box (or post them in the UCR App!)
Neurographic Meditative Art
  • Make any shape doodles on the page
  • Smooth the places where any lines touch so the lines flow smoothly
  • Color the doodles, add designs or words, or write prayers in each space
Peaceful Patterns (Zentangle)
  • Draw a square or any other shape (or write out a word in big letters in your square and draw designs up to the letters. The letters will stand out and can be colored or left blank)
  • Divide the shape into sections - see example
  • Use zentangle designs to fill in each space-see example on how to do each pattern step-by-step 
Praying in Color

Do you struggle with the “correct” words to use to pray? Use simple shapes and affirmative words to focus your prayer energy. 

  • Make doodles on the page. 
  • Place a word you want to pray about, such as wellness or a person’s name you want to pray for in the center doodle. 
  • Add other doodles and color your designs. 
  • As you concentrate on drawing and coloring, you will find yourself concentrating on affirmative prayers!
Finger Labyrinth
  • Please use hand sanitizer for this station.
  • Use the wooden finger labyrinth to direct your payers. As you begin, release all that no longer serves you, rest in quiet prayer in the center, renew on the way out. Try this also with your eyes closed!
  • Paper finger labyrinths are available for you to take home.
Prayer Ties
Time in nature
  • Relax in one of the outdoor quiet areas: prayer garden, peace garden, table and chairs by the community room, or Zach’s memorial bench. Take a small pocket rock with you as a touchstone or a prayer poem to read. You may keep these.
