Essential teaching weekend (online)

The Essential Teaching Weekend (ETW) is an opportunity to deepen your experience of Christian meditation and learn more about the key elements of the practice, the history of the tradition and the spiritual journey.

Periods of meditation are part of the program. There are online presentations by Father Laurence Freeman and other teachers in the community along with time for questions, discussion and small group conversations.

The ETW is open to anyone who has been meditating for about a year or more. If you've attended in the past you're also welcome to come along for "a refresher".

A regular comment made by people who have experienced an ETW is that it has strengthened their connection to the community and brought a real sense of belonging.

Friday 12 June 6 - 8pm AEST*. Saturday 13 June 10.30am - 3.30pm Saturday 20 June 10.30am - 3.30pm

Registration close Friday 5 June

If you're interested and would like more information including support to use the online platform Zoom, please contact Ros Harris: harrisroslyn61@gmail.com Registration form link

Cost: $50 This includes a copy of the resource book "Sharing the Gift" that will be posted to you on completion of the ETW

Living Contemplatively presented by Johanna Lawrence.

‘Living contemplatively transforms our experience of being alive and expands our capacity to become agents of liberation and healing for others.’ Sarah Bachelard author. Escape from our noisy and stressed world. Take a ‘day off’ in the desert with life simplified, reduced to its essentials and nourishing us with its spiritual teaching. This quiet day will be spent with fellow Christians through meditation, talks and activities, reflection in a new sense of community and spiritual friendship. The day can be especially useful for meditation newcomers to connect them to long time meditators. The WCCM is a global spiritual community united in the practice of meditation in the Christian tradition. It shares the fruits of this practice widely and inclusively, serving the unity of all and building understanding between faiths and cultures. Members of WCCM span more than a hundred countries.

Our presenter Johanna Lawrence:

  • a member of the World Community of Christian Meditation (WCCM) (Queensland), a State Representative on the National Council and joint role of Qld State Coordinator

  • has led Essential Teaching Weekends, Community Days, Retreat Days

  • and has a B.A. from Sydney University and trained as a Spiritual Director.

We encourage you to join us in a quiet desert oasis.
