- Fr Robert Nixon, OSB
The practice of meditation and the experience of union with God form a key part of the mystical life of many of the saints, and also appear in most of the great religious traditions of the world, both Eastern and Western. Meditation consists of a deliberate stilling of the mind and spirit, and liberating it from distractions, desires, fears, illusions, and its usual assumptions and perspectives. In this way, the spirit is opened up to a unitive vision of a higher reality- God Himself, and the true self. Through well-directed meditation, practitioners are able to arrive at peace, freedom and inner joy.
The first session for all Weekends Retreats begins at 7:30pm on the Friday. Participants are encouraged to attend Vespers at 6:30pm, followed by dinner, if possible. The final session for each weekend will conclude at 11:30am on the Sunday.
