Outreach of The World Community for Christian Meditation
Humility in Science: A Benedictine Advice, was led by Dr Marco Schorlemmer at the Meditatio Centre in London on the 10th of November. Scientific inquiry is, at its core, deeply contemplative. Current scientific practice, however, instead of nurturing this facet is often at odds with a contemplative attitude to science. You can listen to the talks (and download them ) in the player below:

Laurence Freeman OSB will lead a day on the theme Conscious Leadership, 16 May, at the Meditatio Centre in London. The weakness of inspirational leadership in many aspects of modern life is that it threatens the foundations of civilised behaviour and social integrity. Laurence Freeman has been working in our Meditatio outreach to develop new approaches to contemplative leadership for the next generation – truthful, other-centred, compassionate – and (therefore) conscious. He will look at various models of leadership and suggest how a contemplative practice brings not only psychological and physical benefits but transformative spiritual fruits.
