We meet for an hour on the first and third Tuesday in each month. Each year we adopt a new ‘theme’ which gives shape and focus to each of our meetings.
We start each meeting with an introduction to the evening. There follows a period of readings, prayers and poems interspersed with short periods of silence for reflection. This period leads to our main period of silence (typically 20 minutes) which provides an opportunity to sink into a deeper place with a suspension of the ego and active thinking, called contemplation. This period of silence is followed by a conclusion, and a short discussion.
We normally meet on Zoom, gathering from 7:15 pm for a 7:30 pm start, and finishing by 8:30pm. For a link, please email bestillchichester@btinternet.com .
