Meditation and the Future of the Planet
The 2022 annual conference of the UK Christian Meditation Community invites all who want to deepen their understanding of the ecological emergency and find a contemplative response.  Revisit the Christian understandings of creation.  Explore how meditation and contemplative practice can:
• awaken us to a more sustainable life
• help us to respond to the crisis
• bring hope and courage in the face of the uncertain future for civilisation as we know it.

The conference will seek to inspire meditators in their continuing practice of meditation but also extends the warmest of welcomes to all who would like to participate.

Laurence Freeman, a Benedictine monk and Director of the WCCM is the author of many books. His teaching reaches out to the world, sharing the vision of WCCM with business leaders, doctors and children; to people of all faiths and none. He brings the contemplative wisdom tradition to the critical issues of our time.

James Thornton is an eco-lawyer working for the planet and all living beings. He is founding CEO of ClientEarth – a global charity (220 staff) that writes laws and holds businesses and governments to account. James is also a writer and Zen Buddhist priest who teaches meditation to environmental activists.
