“Meditation is the prayer of the heart, what the early Christian monks called pure prayer… Many people speak about meditation as a feeling of coming home.”
How can meditation restore our sense of wonder and help us forge communities and meaningful relationships? Is there any difference between meditation and prayer? What is the role of contemplative practices in a technologically advanced society?
Join Fr Laurence Freeman, Benedictine monk and director of the World Community for Christian Meditation, as he discusses some important insights from his spiritual search and meditation practice. Together with Scott Snibbe, he explores the potential of meditation to nurture and heal communities and relationships, to re-awaken our sense of wonder, and help us journey from our minds to our hearts.
