About this event

Celtic Christian Spirituality is rich with an awareness of the sacred inter-related nature of all of life. It celebrates the good news that the Divine Love and Light is the core essence of every human being, every leaf of grass, every star in the sky.


This spirituality has a reverence for the transcendent, unnamable, unknowable aspect of the Divine, and the immanent, Divine dance of creation, manifest in the world around us, in every taste, touch, sight, and sound.


This circle affirms the need for sacramental and Divine Grace, along with compassionate inner transformation and service work, to further redeem and live the integrity and goodness of the True Self.


This is a contemplative gathering with a focus on direct experience, and the cultivation of the heart.


We are an affirming and inclusive meditation circle that is open to all. We welcome individuals of any age, race, ethnicity, ancestry, gender expression, national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic background.


If you describe yourself as being 'spiritual but not religious', and you have respect for the essence of the Christian message, and the light of all the worlds blessed traditions, you are very welcome to join us.


What is the format of the meditation group?

This gathering is taking place on Wednesday July 24th.

We will gather in the zoom room in silence at 7pm Irish time, and start with a 40 minute silent meditation/prayer.


There are many forms of Christian meditation. Whether you practice St. Teresa of Avila’s Christian Prayer of the Heart, Centering Prayer, John Main’s Christian Meditation, or any other form of Christian meditation, you are more than welcome to meditate in the way you have been guided.


After meditation/centering prayer, we then share a tea break, and return for introductions, group conversation, and dreamwork.


Numbers 12:6 " I will speak to them in dreams."


Working with dreams has long been a source of guidance and healing in all cultures throughout history.


Dreams can teach us about ourselves, and reconnect us with the soul as it speaks to us in this ancient language of images and symbols, pointing us towards wholeness, integration, and our highest creative purpose in service to Divine Love.


About The Facilitator:


I’m an ecumenical Christian with a grá for Celtic Christianity. I live a semi monastic home life involving a committed rhythm of meditation, prayer, blessed sacraments, study, career vocation in the social purpose sector, community action, and retreat.


My contemplative journey started with John Main’s Christian Meditation and in more recent years it has deepened with the Christian Prayer of the Heart, and with Centering Prayer.


I’m particularly interested in engaged forms of faith and Christian mindful awareness practices as a spiritual response to the global climate and social crises present today.
