CONTEMPLATIVE
PRAYER GROUP
Rekindle Your Spirit This Advent Through Our
Christian Contemplative Gatherings
Saturday 7th, 14th, 21st December : 4.00pm - 5.30pm
Do you long for greater inner peace in the midst of a busy, challenging life? Do you sense that something important is missing?
Are you searching for a deeper, more authentic connection with God but struggling to find meaningful ways to nurture that relationship?
Are you drawn to the idea of meditation and silence but feel frustrated because your practice doesn't seem to make a difference in your everyday life?
Join us for a transformative three-week series of Contemplative Gatherings as we explore the profound teachings and insights of the Christian mystics and spiritual masters, including Thomas Merton and Fr. Thomas Keating. Through rich dialogue, discussion and reflective practices, we will dive into themes that speak to the heart of the spiritual journey.
Whether you are seeking deeper meaning in your spiritual path or simply wish to explore the wisdom of the Christian contemplative tradition, these gatherings will offer inspiration, insight, and practices to nourish your soul.
