Recent Silent Sundays

Return to the Garden

Richard Rohr describes the Garden of Eden as a symbol of unitive consciousness, where we are never separate from God. In this short reflection, we explore the return to the garden as a metaphor for the spiritual journey.

Here I Am

In this silent Sunday we will explore what it means to be as simple and beautiful as the birds of the sky or the lilies of the field.

Yes may it be

In this advent reflection we explore the response of Mary to the annunciation, and what it could mean for us to respond with our "Yes" to the Divine presence and action in our own lives

Listening to the changing of the seasons

Our theme in this short reflection is an invitation to listen to the changing seasons, and the sacred conversation that this may be calling us to participate in.

Return to Simple Silence

The theme for this silent Sunday is the call to return to simple silence.

Peace beyond understanding

In this reflection we explore the peace of God that is beyond understanding, and how this differs from peaceful emotional states, or conducive circumstances or conditions that come and go.

Streams in the Wasteland

The theme for this Silent Sunday is the invitation to remain in the seeming wasteland of quiet presence, allowing the streams of living water to seep into our hearts from God's Heart

Falling Open

The theme for this Silent Sunday is the invitation to fall open rather than constricting and hardening ourselves in response to the challenges of life.

Nurturing the Seed

Brian McLaren describes this time that we are in as the birthing of something new, and at the same time it is the death of the old way of being. This silent Sunday is an invitation to listen to what may be stirring as a seed of new life within us, and how we may nurture that into full flourishing.

Heart of Wonder

Richard Rohr describes that people who live their lives open to wonder have a greater chance of meeting the Holy. This silent Sunday is an invitation to open your hearts to wonder, through paying attention with child-like receptivity.

When God does not answer

In this reflection I want to explore what it means when God does not answer our prayers, and what this means for our spiritual journey.

The God of I Am

Thomas Merton wrote: 'In response to God’s “I am” we echo “I am” and “we are”'. In this talk, guest speaker Graham Lindegger explores the name of God "I am" and what that means for our prayer as an echo of I am.
