One day retreat
The practice of meditation and the experience of union with God form a key part of the mystical life of many of the saints, and also appear (in varying forms) in most of the great religious traditions of the world. Meditation consists of a deliberate stilling of the mind and spirit, and liberating it from distractions, illusions, sensory perception, and its usual assumptions and perspectives. In this way, the spirit is opened up to a unitive vision of a higher reality- God Himself, and the true self. Through this discipline, practitioners are able to arrive at peace, freedom and inner joy. This one-day workshop will combine a general orientation and the experience of specific practices.
One day events commence at 9:00am on the Saturday in the Monastery guesthouse, and conclude the same day at 5:00pm. Attendees may arrive earlier for a cuppa. Lunch is included.
