In Moot we are committed to putting spirituality back into the Christian life. One of the important developments in contemplative Christian practice in the twentieth century is Centering Prayer (not to be confused with the John Main meditation method, also a very important resource).

In centering prayer, the emphasis is not on words, but on silence; its not just about achieving stillness without, but a deep quiet within; its about knowing God directly, through the mystery of Presence, not about gathering head knowledge, or data, about God.

It is an eminently simple method of praying, and can be the start of a journey toward discovering our true selves, beneath the noise and confusion of our busy, daily lives. In this sense, it is a journey toward awareness, to the awakening of our inner self, our Soul.

This one day Centring Prayer Training Day will give you the basic tools to start out on this journey of a lifetime, and, for those of us already journeying with a rhythm of life, it will prove to be immensely helpful.
