On the first Tuesday of each month the Carmelite Centre offers opportunities for stillness and silence and also community.
This begins at 9.30 with a Contemplative Walk around the streets of Middle Park. We begin with a reflection in front of the church and then a 30 minute walk in silence. We return to the Carmelite Centre for a cuppa and conversation.
The Carmelite library is open, being a Tuesday, so is available for browsing, borrowing and quiet reading.
At 1.00 Kathryn Pile leads Centering Prayer Meditation in the Malone Room. The session runs for approx 50 minutes and is followed by an invitation to share time together socially.
Michele, a regular participant, wrote the following reflection on the day.
A day for me
A day to walk slowly quietly with others
A day to sit listen and speak from the heart
A day to dwell in the presence
A day to guide me to the next
