DESCRIPTION:TUESDAY 2 DECEMBER 2025 we will meet for a walking meditation i
 n the St Vincent Gardens\, Albert Park weather permitting! We will gather 
 at the entrance on Ferrars Street under the large Oak tree at 1:00pm. The 
 walk will be followed by a shared 'ADVENT' picnic.  All welcome. This cou

  the time with us.\n\nKathryn Pile writes:\n\nThe aim of our walk is to de
 epen our relationship with God through Nature\, experience the health and 
 wellbeing aspects of meditation\, and the joy of walking in contemplative 
 silence. The Gardens are compact and we will make five stops on our way ar
 ound. The stops are mostly in places where existing bench seats are placed
  for those who may like to sit along the way. The walk will take approxima
 tely 30 minutes and will be followed by a shared 'Advent' picnic in the Ga
 rdens.\n\nI will set up our picnic spot with a rug and some chairs beforeh
 and\, at 12.45 pm at the  Montague end of the Gardens\, the south west en

 ongings there\, before we start. There is parking around the gardens\, and
  public transport and facilities along Ferrars and Montague Streets.\n\nPl
 ease let me know if you are able to attend\, or if you have any questions.

 can come\, I will contact you early on the day so that we can meet in the 
 Malone Room at the Carmelite Center as usual\, to share our meditation and
   picnic.\n\nLove and every blessing\, Kathryn Pile\, Meditation Leader.\

 ing Prayer Meditation draws on the Christian tradition of meditation from 
 the heart centre\, using themes from spiritual writings and scripture\, to
  help us experience beyond limited intellect\, the total mind we call Hear
 t. It’s a surrender method\, a practice based on letting go of thoughts 
 as they arise to deepen a way of being in God’s Presence and so deepenin
 g relationship with God.\n\nCentering Prayer Meditation is an invitation f
 or all with an open heart who are seeking to bring unity and wholeness int
 o their daily life.\n\nWatch an Introduction to Centering Prayer with Kath
