The Art of Prayer:My name is Thomas Gilchrist. For a number of years I have been exploring the art of prayer. In this time I have come to know a place within myself called the Self. This is a place of perfect peace, free from fear. When one comes to know this place you are free.
To reach this, one must learn to free the mind. To free the mind, one must learn to let go of illusion. To let go of illusion, one must be willing to see. From here does the journey toward the Self begin.
In this class we’ll explore the art of prayer. We’ll explore what it means to still the mind through the miracle of forgiveness. In this class we’ll begin the journey home. “The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed.”
Please bring along your own meditation stools, bolsters, cushions, or anything you need to be comfortable for sitting for a long period on the floor. There are chairs available for those who need them. A water bottle is good idea too.
The class will always be free.
The class meets every Monday at 6pm at the St.Martins Community Library, 122 Wilsons Road South, St.Martins, Christchurch. When you arrive, the entrance is off Wades Avenue at the back entrance. Please knock on the glass door to be let in as the door is automatically locking.
