Tai Chi & Meditation

Fr Peter Williams OSB

This retreat uses some practises from Tai Chi to explore the concept of balance and energy and how they relate to prayer in the form of stillness and mediation. A truly mind/body/spirit retreat, Fr Peter uses the insights gained from 30 years of practise to guide you in how the body as ‘a temple of the Holy Spirit’ is very central to having a healthy prayer life. No previous experience of Tai Chi is necessary.

The retreat will consist of three elements: Lectio Divina and stillness meditation in the morning and then an outdoor session of Tai Chi in the afternoon. The aim is to harmonise the experiences and discover how the presence of God is central to each, bringing unity and depth to prayer.
