Easter Sunday 2024

Henri Nouwen wrote: "God’s presence is so much beyond the human experience of  being together that it quite easily is perceived as absence.

Presence and listening

In this reflection we will explore the theme of presence and deep listening, to one another, to ourselves and to God, through the interweaving of a talk with music, readings and guided prayer.


Before listening to the opening music, spend a few minutes listening to the sounds around you, becoming present wherever you are joining us from. 

"All that is needed for wholeness, for freedom, is in the now", as Richard Rohr says.  

Then, when you are ready, listen to this opening piece of music with the same sense of listening presence and attentiveness.
