Enos Mantoani for Learning to Meditate Series with Fr Laurence

Speakers: Enos Mantoani, WCCM National Coordinator - Italy

Enos Mantoani: Hi everyone, I am Enos Mantovani, current national coordinator of WCCM Italy, the World Community for Christian Meditation and I would like to invite you to join a free online series on meditation. A series of sessions with an exceptional guide Laurence Freeman, one of the most influential meditation teacher in the Western world. Father Laurence is a Benedictine monk, founder in 1991 of our community and its spiritual guide, a direct disciple of Father John Main and a personal friend of the Dalai Lama.

Enos Mantoani: I would then recommend this series for three reasons. Whether you are a member of the World Community for Christian Meditation or whether you are believers but not meditators or whether you are an atheist or a practitioner of other meditative traditions, this series introduces meditation in a practical and simple way meditation as a discipline that can truly be an answer to the challenges of our time, both on a personal and global level. A second reason is this... is to have the opportunity to listen to Father Laurence, someone who has dedicated practically his entire life to the meditation practice demonstrating that it is not just the preserve of mystics or religious people but that it is a resource in the life of each and every one of us, whatever our condition in life. Young, old, single, married, not married, with children, without children, workers, pensioners. So, everyone can start this path any time. Listening to Father Laurence is truly an inspiration, a breath of fresh air and spirituality. The third reason is a somewhat more personal one. As my experience with meditation has contributed in perhaps mysterious ways to changing my life, my wish is that many people can experience it in the same way. Knowing that there can be a different way to approach reality a more conscious way perhaps more challenging but surely more enriching.
