Praying, Singing, and Dancing with Monks and Mystics

If you love the twelve dancing monk icons, you will love this series of multimedia resources we have created!

Praying with Monks and Mystics offers a full-color reproduction of each icon along with Christine’s poetry and song sheets in the back to accompany the music created for each dancing monk.

Singing with Monks and Mystics is a CD or MP3 download of 13 songs, each inspired by one of the dancing monks in our series. Perfect for meditation, retreat, and sharing with groups!

Dancing with Monks and Mystics is a DVD created by Betsey Beckman, who choreographed simple dances and movement prayers to accompany each song. Bring the dance into your prayer!
