A Meditation Taster for Young Adults - Finding Peace in an Uncertain World

Curious about meditation? Looking for a little more peace and stillness in the midst of everyday life?

Join us for a welcoming day designed especially for young adults (18–45) to explore the practice of Christian meditation in a relaxed and supportive environment. Whether you are completely new to meditation or looking to reconnect with your practice, this day offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and experience silence together.

Rooted in the teachings of the Desert Fathers and the tradition of John Main OSB, the day will include guided introductions to meditation alongside opportunities to experience different forms of contemplative practice.

Throughout the day you'll enjoy:

• Guided introductions to Christian meditation
• Silent meditation sessions 
• Music and singing
• Group discussions exploring why we meditate
• Gentle Qi Gong movement and breathwork
• A meditative walk around Myddelton Square
• Chanting as a contemplative practice
