An invitation to explore stillness together with others. No prior experience is needed, only curiosity about what surfaces when we let go of words and busyness.
The session is guided and lasts two hours. It opens with bodily relaxation, which you can do sitting, walking or lying on the floor. Meditative songs and wordless prayer follow, with participants seated in chairs around the altar. The silent prayer is inspired by centering prayer, as developed and described by the Benedictine monk Thomas Keating, and each session includes a short introduction to this form of meditation.
The church itself provides a beautiful setting for the silence, and it stays remarkably quiet despite its central location on Vesterbro. Under guidance, you practise being present in the moment and in your body, letting go of thoughts as they arise, and sharing experiences of both joys and difficulties in your meditative practice.
