Willow Glen Christian Meditation Group
|
We come together, in silence, to experience the Divine within. As an international family of meditators, we practice a universal tradition that is rooted in the teachings of the Gospels and the early Christian monastic methods of prayer and contemplation. This aspect of Christian spirituality, forgotten for centuries, was rediscovered by John Main (1926-1982), a Benedictine monk who in the 1970s reintroduced it into the lives of religious and lay people alike. (For more information, visit the World Community for Christian Meditation at www.wccm.org.) Our gatherings include general information about the practice and history of Christian meditation, listening to the great teachers of the tradition, and (most importantly) meditating together for 25-30 minutes. All are welcome.
