Join with others on zoom to discuss books about silence based prayer & meditation. 

A slow reading group: we read just a portion of a book for each meeting!
Picture
In September 2024 we'll start a new book:

Erling Kagge's, Silence in the Age of Noise (Random House, 2017).

​We'll probably only take two or at most three months to read and discuss this as it's a short book with quite a few beautiful pages that are pictures. You can read more about the book here.

​Our pattern is usually to meet from 7:30-9:30pm on the second Wednesday of each month (but not always). For a list of dates for the rest of 2024, please scroll down.
​​Sustaining a discipline of silence based prayer is not always easy.
The reading group offers several ways to support you in this:
​
  • Meet regularly with others who are also exploring a discipline of silence based prayer to share experiences of what it's like: the struggles and the joys, your questions and discoveries!
  • Read slowly through books about silence, a chapter or a few small sections of a book at a time between meetings, and then gather to discuss what we've found helpful, challenging and encouraging in what we've read.
  • Sharing in periods of silence with others supports our individual practice. So before discussing the latest chapter, we share in 20 minutes of silent prayer together, and then a period of 5-10 minutes at the end of the evening.​
We usually meet on zoom from 7.30-9.30pm on each month's second Wednesday but occasionally this pattern shifts.

Remaining dates for 2024:
  • Wed ​​18th September
  • Wed 9th October
  • Wed 16th November
  • ​Wed 11th December​ ​
