Lent: Enter The Stillness
With Miranda Ruth GillLent is a faith journey. An invitation to meet with God in silent places and come back changed. In this course, we’ll explore Lent as a gateway to spiritual transformation. We’ll experience a series of meditation practices from the contemplative Christian tradition, sitting in stillness with the Presence of the Divine. There will be plenty of space for silence as well as reflection and journalling to help the experience go deeper. We’ll end with a reflection on how we feel personally called to move forward through the rest of Lent, to honour our unique relationship with God. This course will primarily resonate with a Christian audience but is open to all. It’s more about letting go and allowing God to transform us through silent practice, than about engaging with a specific belief system – though as this is a Lent course, it does reflect on Jesus’ experience in the wilderness, and it uses the language of God, Jesus and the Spirit.

Meet your Teacher
Miranda is a meditation guide whose life has been transformed through the practice of contemplation. Living with severe and chronic illness, she dove into meditation to make sense of her experience. Finding the meditative tradition within Christianity became a pathway home. Surrendering to God in the heart, she honours her Christian roots while letting go of all her borders and boundaries, opening to find God in unexpected places. Practising contemplation brings her deeper levels of love and the joy of seeing God written through all things. Prone to anxiety and depression, Miranda understands the challenges of sitting in stillness, which makes her a deeply compassionate teacher. She seeks to support others along their path home, to the God who dwells at the core of their heart.
