This free course provides you with the basics of how to start your journey of meditation. In 3 short videos, Laurence Freeman, a Benedictine monk and Founding Director, gives an overview of what meditation is and how to practice it. Lesson 3 gives practical instructions on how to start.

This course teaches you how to meditate and helps you to establish it as a regular practice. It also tells the story of how meditation was rediscovered within the Christian tradition as a form of contemplative prayer and how it is practiced by many Christians around the world.

This year’s Advent reflections will revolve around the Sunday gospel of each week. They may also provide some resources for the adventure of each weekday that connects the following four Sundays. I hope our weekly reflections will help you prepare and celebrate for this festival that sheds such light on the love that flows between God and ourselves – the longest love affair in the cosmos.
