For refreshers, our speaker, Julie Roberts, while working as a life coach and exploring spiritual direction in 2003 discovered the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM). Since then she has actively taken on many roles from local Group Leader, through to UK Coordinator of the School of Meditation, led introductory courses, quiet days, teaching weekends, and retreats. It was while preparing recently to lead a 7Day silent retreat, she was able to consider more deeply what it means to live a grateful life.
Julie is also an author. Her latest book ‘Just Turn Up! – the meditators companion, a practical guide’ will be published later this year.
Bernard McDonald (Ireland, Postulant) and Sarah Anderson (UK) will lead us in prayers as we build the sacred space of Benedict’s Well.
