SUMMARY:Online meditation with the School of Contemplative Life
DESCRIPTION:Meditation in the Christian tradition is an ancient and simple way of prayer. \nOur purpose is to teach meditation as a simple path to peace\, community and oneness. Our vision is to help people establish peace in themselves and become places of peace in the world. \nEach session includes a short talk\, a period of silent meditation practice (preceded by some basic guidelines for anyone who is new)\, and an opportunity for conversation afterwards. \nThe sessions are guided by Chris Whittington. Chris spent a period of formation at Prinknash Abbey Benedictine Monastery and is the Founder of The School of Contemplative Life. \nYou don’t need to bring anything – just yourself. Try to find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.

SUMMARY:Online meditation with the School of Contemplative Life
DESCRIPTION:Meditation in the Christian tradition is an ancient and simple way of prayer. \nOur purpose is to teach meditation as a simple path to peace\, community and oneness. Our vision is to help people establish peace in themselves and become places of peace in the world. \nEach session includes a short talk\, a period of silent meditation practice (preceded by some basic guidelines for anyone who is new)\, and an opportunity for conversation afterwards. \nThe sessions are guided by Chris Whittington. Chris spent a period of formation at Prinknash Abbey Benedictine Monastery and is the Founder of The School of Contemplative Life. \nYou don’t need to bring anything – just yourself. Try to find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.

SUMMARY:Quiet day at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
DESCRIPTION:Paula Gooder : Study and Reflection day ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like ..?\n\n2nd September 2026\, 10:15 – 16:00\n\n\nThe Kingdom of Heaven is like…? Reading the Parables with fresh eyes. \nThe parables are\, arguably\, the most characteristic of Jesus’ teaching. During this day we will spend time with some well loved (and some much well-known) of Jesus’ parables asking how they can speak to us afresh today. \nWe are thrilled to welcome Paula to lead another popular Study Reflective day with us. \nCanon Dr Paula Gooder is a writer and lecturer in Biblical Studies. Her research areas focus on the writings of Paul the Apostle\, with a particular focus on 2 Corinthians and on Paul’s understanding of the Body. Her passion is to ignite people’s enthusiasm for reading the Bible today\, by presenting the best of biblical scholarship in an accessible and interesting way. She is currently the Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
