Visio Divina is Lectio Divina through the portal of sight. We gaze at an image slowly and without agenda, and let it become a thin place. We live among images we consume rather than contemplate; this practice teaches us to behold rather than glance.

The full guide, with the steps, gentle reminders and a worked example, lives on Spiritual Break.
