About The School
“In meditation you are learning to be. Just to be, as you are.” (John Main)

Our Courses
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 course is for those who would like to discover the inner depths of the Christian tradition and its mystical dimension. By focusing on key mystics, this course introduces you to the rich stream of Christian mysticism and how it takes shape in different times. It spans 2000 years and is a journey in time - starting with Jesus himself and up to modern times. Please watch the introduction below where Fr Laurence Freeman talks more about The Roots of Christian Mysticism course.

Upcoming Events
In the silence of meditation, when you go beyond thought and imagination, you begin to understand that being is what life is about. In meditation you are learning to be. To be is to live as the person you are, without trying to justify your existence or make excuses for your personality. Just to be, as you are. The wonder of it is that the more simple you become, the more you are able to enjoy to the full the gift of your being.John Main, OSB
