​Seeds of Silence exists to encourage and support ​you in developing your understanding and engagement with Christianity's ancient tradition of silence as a spiritual discipline and practice of prayer.

Advent Calendar for 2023

​A taster 'door' on Sunday 26th November reminds us of Advent's invitation, beyond the busyness of shopping and feasting, to wait expectantly for the mystery of Christ.

Silence Reading Group:  slow reading!

This is not like usual book groups! Instead of a whole book, we read and discuss one chapter of our current book about silence-based prayer and meditation. We start with  20 minutes silence together. 
We have just begun a new book but it's not too late to join us.
If you'd like to do so, please email for more info.
Our new book is James Finley's Christian Meditation: Experiencing the Presence of God - A Guide to Contemplation (HarperCollins, 2005). 
 For a description of this book, click here.
We meet from 7.30-9.30pm, usually on the second Wednesday of each month, but with occasional exceptions.
Please contact Seeds of Silence by email, here, if you would like to join us.
Upcoming dates in 2023: Wed 8th November; Wed 13th December
Dates in early 2024: Wed 17th January; Wed 14th February; Wed 13th March
