Christian and inclusive

The New Zealand Community for Christian Meditation welcomes people of all faiths to join us in this shared tradition of deepening the spiritual life.

We acknowledge a common life source that nurtures our unfolding, even though we might call the experience by different names – God, Christ, Love, Spirit, Universe, Creator.

“We can meditate outside of any spiritual tradition but, it will always lead us back home where we belong: the heart.” - John Main, OSB.

  • "Meditating together each week creates a rhythm beyond my own efforts. The group holds me in love. It reminds me that the journey inward is never solitary, and that even in silence, we are profoundly connected."

    Raymond Eberhard

  • "The fruit of my meditation practice is an underlying serenity that my life is in God’s hands and I am being supported and guided each day. Sharing with others on the same path is inspiring and reassuring for me."

  • Meditation for me feels like coming home. It's an opportunity to simply 'be'. My practice truly flourished went I started going to a weekly group. We can and do meditate alone but meditating in community brings a whole new lived sense of belonging.

  • My discovery of meditation in the Christian tradition marked the end of a very long period in a spiritual wilderness. The simplicity, the stillness, the silence of the twice-daily practice was healing and enriching for me.
