This is a 5-day silent retreat with world-renowned teacher Fr. Laurence Freeman OSB. Beginners to meditation and those wishing to deepen their practice are welcome. The theme is "Unified Consciousness." This is not a merely intellectual or abstract issue, because the survival of humanity may well depend upon the evolution of our consciousness. The mind of Christ within each of us is the same mind that contains all of us. The meditator experiences this in real time by being able to see herself in others and others in herself. In this silent retreat, Laurence Freeman will explore the personal healing involved in unifying ourselves with ourselves and with others.
