Retreat: Meditation & Mindfulness in the Christian Tradition
About
Facilitator: Roland Ashby.Tap into a deep spring of love, joy, peace and compassion at the centre of our being. Jesus called it Living Water, with which we will never thirst. During this week, cultivate a transforming, healing awareness of the Divine presence, and learn how to meditate on Scripture and other sacred texts, by using a prayer word or mantra, through mindfulness of the breath and body, on icons and other art works & by using visualization.
This retreat will be largely experiential. It will introduce and draw on the ancient wisdom of several traditions of contemplative prayer, including Lectio Divina, Visio Divina, imaginative contemplation, mantra meditation and centering prayer.
As learning to be silent is a vital part of cultivating awareness of the Divine presence, both within and around us, the retreat will be largely conducted in silence, although there will be opportunities each day for conversation with a spiritual director. Breakfast and lunch will be in silence.
