What is Benedict’s Well?
Benedict’s Well is an International online meditation and reflection group that meets on Zoom every Monday at 9 a.m. GMT for a total of one hour. The group is hosted by Benedictine Oblates of the World Community for Christian Meditation. It is open to anyone who wants to deepen their meditation practice, has an interest in the monastic tradition and would like the support of a community online for their spiritual journey.
Each week, there is a time of silent meditation with a reading to prepare us for meditation and then there is a guest speaker. The group is ecumenical and from all over the world, but united in meditation and the nourishment of shared reflection on their Christian faith journey.
A regular speaker is Father Laurence. Over the 3 years that we have been meeting, many speakers have offered their reflections and wisdom. You may wish to offer your own reflections!
