Centering Prayer is an invitation for all with an open heart who are seeking to bring unity and wholeness into their daily life.
Kathryn Pile leads Centering Prayer Meditation on the first Tuesday of the month at 1.00pm in the Malone Room. (First door on the left when entering from 214 Richardson Street, Middle Park.) The session runs for approx 50 minutes and begins with a guided reflection then an extended period of silence. After the session there is an invitation to share time together socially.
Centering Prayer draws on the Christian tradition of meditation from the heart centre, using themes from spiritual writing and scripture, to help us experience beyond limited intellect, the total mind we call Heart. 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. deepening a relationship with God.
We are hoping to hold a walking meditation in St Vincent Gardens, Ferrars Street in South Melbourne during the year when weather permits. Details will be provided in advance.
