Meditation is a universal spiritual wisdom. All traditions recognise the value of a contemplative practice and the need for the community that flows from it. The School of Meditation in The World Community for Christian Meditation supports this.
Meditation both creates community and empowers the spirit of active service.
The World Community for Christian Meditation is present in more than a hundred countries. It shares the teaching on meditation, the prayer of the heart, as part of the contemplative tradition handed on by John Main. It also engages in dialogue with other faiths and secular institutions.
Meditatio is the outreach of the community conducted through seminars, media and the formation of young contemplatives in the world.
Learning to pray is learning to live
as fully as possible in the present moment.
