We understand that different people need different ways to explore and develop their spirituality. That is why we offer different types of services and spiritual experiences to meet the needs of everyone regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey.

Meditation

Meditation offers an opportunity to reduce stress, grow in self-knowledge, and come closer to God. We offer a drop-in guided group meditation weekly where all are welcome and no experience is required. Our focus is on breath-centered meditation, inviting our bodies to relax while remaining alert. We also incorporate body scanning and usually finish with gratitude meditation. Join us in-person in The Chapel Monday evenings at 7:00 pm starting September 12, 2022. Online Meditation is also available every Wednesday at 5:oo pm on Zoom and Friday at 3:00 pm on Facebook.Facebook.com/islingtonunited
