Silentium is a living, cohesive, radically relational and mutually supportive contemplative community that resembles the life of the early church - online!

And here is our hub for getting connected and feeling supported.

While, like us all, I'm primarily a 'Practice of Love' apprentice, as facilitator of Silentium, I aspire to offer a contemplative pastoral ministry that supports community members and visitors in their desire to walk a contemplative, compassionate and loving path while navigating busy daily lives. Ministry offerings available to everyone include:

- A weekly Contemplative Liturgy called Silence On Sunday, hosted on the Online Meditation Chapel that includes, on a monthly basis, the sharing of the Eucharist.

- A gathering of Silentium contemplative seekers which takes place fortnightly in the Online Meditation Chapel . All who come offer each other mutual love and support as we navigate together the wisdom and practices from religious traditions, contemporary spiritual movements and teachers. The group begins 2023 with a brand new focus - The Practice of Love.

- A Weekly Post that offers updates about all things Silentium and which regularly includes references to spiritual practices and links teaching to resources.

Additional ministries such as seasonal retreats and 1 to 1 Spiritual Direction are available to all who participate in the community. While Availing of Spiritual Direction ministry carries a fee but this should not be perceived as a barrier to the ministry - please reach out to find out more.

While Silentium is grounded in the Christian contemplative tradition and, directed primarily by the gospel of Jesus, the community draws on the contemplative wisdom of all traditions, contemporary spiritual movements, mystics past and present and, perhaps most importantly, the experience of it's members. Silentium is a community for all who feel drawn to the transformative effects of contemplative spiritual practice.

Silentium is privileged to partner with, and offer a humble contribution to Beyond Borders, an organisation whose work in Haiti is bringing alive Jesus' Kingdom of Love for neighbour and transforming lindividual lives and communities in the process.

Silentium is still discovering and discerning ways to be a small but global community whose members live in the neighbourhood called 'online' and we would love you to come along with us on this wonderful adventure.
