Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB
The practice of meditation and the experience of union with God form a key part of the mystical life of many of the saints, and also appear (in varying forms) in most of the great religious traditions of the world. Meditation consists of a deliberate stilling of the mind and spirit, and liberating it from distractions, illusions, sensory perception, and its usual assumptions and perspectives. In this way, the spirit is opened up to a unitive vision of a higher reality- God Himself, and the true self. Through this discipline, practitioners are able to arrive at peace, freedom and inner joy. This retreat will combine a general orientation and the experience of specific practices.
 
The first session for all Weekends Retreats begins at 7:30pm on the Friday. Participants are encouraged to attend Vespers at 6:30pm, followed by dinner, if possible. The final session for each weekend will conclude at 11:30am on the Sunday.
