Chant: Breath, Holy Spirit, and Sound
with Anna and Leah Stuttard
Sat 12th July, 10:30-4pm, Meditatio Centre, london EC1R 1XX
A day exploring ancient & modern chant. First, medieval chant, focusing on how the experience of breathing relates to meditational practices of monasteries where men and women sang the full book of psalms each week in a long mantra. Then, Taizé chant, singing easily learnable & repetitive songs, allowing a different mantra-like meditative state of flow in music.

Between Mystical Thinking and Practical Experience: How Poetry Unlocks the Door
with Hilary Davies
Sat 11th October, 10:30-4pm, Meditatio Centre, London EC1R 1XX
During this day we will be looking at how a variety of poets have approached mystical experience, and how they try to convey what is ineffable in poetic language. This will hopefully help us to think about how mystical thinking irradiates our everyday lives and experiences. Please join us for a wonderful day of input, discussion, reading of poetry, meditation with tea and cake!
Cost: £40 (conc.£20)
