Alison Woolley will be offering six, bi-monthly Silence Clinics at Bradford Cathedral in 2020. |
|
- Are you curious about silence in prayer?
- Does an intentional practice of silence in your prayer life leave you with more questions than answers?
- Do you have a regular discipline of silence, but would like to talk about the difficulties of sustaining this?
- Or maybe you rarely have an opportunity for more extended periods of silence-based prayer with others, and would like to explore this?
If so, then a check-in with others at a
Silence Clinic might be just what you're looking for!
Silence Clinic might be just what you're looking for!
These will be at 7.30-9pm in Bradford Cathedral Parish Room
on the following Wednesday evenings in 2020:
Wednesday 29th January, 2019
Wednesday 18th March, 2019
Wednesday 27th May, 2019
Wednesday 29th July, 2019
Wednesday 30th September, 2019
Wednesday 25th November, 2019
You would be welcome at one or all. Each will be a stand-alone session.
All sessions tend to follow a format similar to this, but might differ a little:
- There will be a short input about an aspect of silence-based prayer of less than 10 minutes
- Opportunity to ask questions and explore these with the group as a whole - we all have knowledge and practical experience to bring and share with one another!
- A short, led meditation to move us away from words and back towards silence
- A longer shared silence of around 20 minutes
- Time to discuss how this second silence was for you: what was different, or what you'll take away
