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 House of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Praying with all of ourselves\n\nSaturday 26 September 2026\n10:00  16:00\nThe House of Prayer (map)\n\n\nLed by: Karen Wellman  \nWhen we pray we instinctively use our bodies because as children we were taught to put our hands together and shut our eyes. What if we could develop that early learning\, not just for those times when there are no words\, but bringing all of ourselves into prayer? \nIn this workshop\, we will explore prayer without words. We will examine how our bodies can deepen our connection with God during prayer\, and learn how to use physical gestures and movements to enhance the prayer experience. We will also explore the barriers that prevent us from bringing our whole selves into prayer. Through reflective practices and experiential learning\, we will build a toolkit of embodied prayers that can be used when words fail. \nStarts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

SUMMARY:Open Door Training weekend at the House of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Open Door Retreat: Training Retreat Weekend\n\nFri\, 2 Oct 202619:00  Sun\, 4 Oct 202615:00\nThe House of Prayer (map)\n\n\nLed by: Tina Quinn and Sarah van Wely \n “Listen\, I am standing at the door knocking.  If you hear my voice and open the door\, I will come in and eat with you\, and you with me.”  Revelation 2: 20 \nThis weekend training retreat is for those interested in leading an Open Door Retreat in their parish\, pastoral area or other environment. Also\, for those seeking to refresh their experience of ODRs.  The weekend will be experienced on two levels: firstly\, you will have authentic experience as a retreatant\, and secondly\, thorough guidance on facilitating/leading an ODR.  All materials will be provided. Participants should have knowledge of Ignatian spirituality\, some training and experience in spiritual direction\, and ideally attend as pairs with the person with whom they hope to facilitate. ODRs are always facilitated in pairs. \nThe Open Door Retreat (ODR) was designed in 1980 by two sisters of the Cenacle Community.  Based on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola it is a creative\, flexible\, prayer journey and a wonderful way to make space for reflection ‘in daily life’. It is gentle and non-threatening\, and suitable for all who want to enhance and deepen their relationship with God. The Open Door Retreat involves a (one and a half to -two-hour) weekly session for nine weeks. Sessions are experiential in nature and include music\, art\, poetry\, reflection\, and sharing – firstly from the ‘team’ of two\, and gradually from participants.

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.
