World Community for Christian Meditation

In Somerset we have a thriving community of meditators meeting in "The Way of Meditation - Roots in the Desert” local halls, churches, chapels and private homes. We welcome the opportunity to share the gift of Christian meditation with newcomers and experienced meditators and with people of all beliefs, faith traditions or none.

There are currently groups meeting in Axbridge, Butleigh, Glastonbury, Ilminster, Martock, Norton St Philip, Taunton and Wells. If you would like to connect with a group in Somerset, or anywhere in the UK, you can check the details at www.somerset.christianmeditation.org.uk by clicking ‘Find a Christian Meditation Group’. If there isn't one near you, please get in touch and let us know of your interest.

If you have never meditated before or would like to know more about meditation in the Christian tradition please visit www.christianmeditation.org.uk and click ’How to Meditate’.

The Somerset region is part of the World Community for Christian Meditation (see www.wccm.org) which brings together those interested in the practice of meditation…there are no joining fees or membership and our newsletters and many of our resources are free. Being part of a community is invaluable in helping us all to encourage and support each other in our practice. th Saturday 16 April 2016 Julie Roberts WCCM Co-ordinator - Somerset 10am – 4pm [email protected]
