Exploring Themes in The Cloud of Unknowing
Friday 17 to Sunday 24 September
Led by the Rev'd Graeme Watson (London Meditation Centre)
'Be still and know that I am God'.
Many people feel called to a practice of prayer of which the essentials are silence and stillness.
The Cloud of Unknowing, a fourteenth century anonymous work, offers one of the best guides to such contemplative prayer, also known today as Christian Meditation. Graeme Watson, a retired Anglican priest and spiritual director, will elucidate themes from The Cloud in order to encourage people to develop their own contemplative practice.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and more experienced people and will include times for sharing the practice of meditation together.
All welcome.
