A supportive, online space for shared practice

When we founded the charity, we felt a clear call: to help nurture a more peaceful world by sharing the gift of Christian meditation.

What began as a small offering soon revealed a deep need. To our surprise, we quickly became host to the largest Christian meditation practice group in the UK.

Our twice-weekly gatherings, designed to help people build and sustain a regular practice, are offered in the spirit of generous giving. There is no charge to participate. Instead, we trust in the flow of generosity – between those who receive and those who are able to give.

If the practice community has become meaningful to you, you’re warmly invited to help it remain open and freely available to others. Many who attend regularly choose to make a monthly donation:

  • £12: helps sustain the weekly groups
  • £20: helps us to share meditation widely
  • £40: helps us expand our mission

All gifts, whatever their size, are received with deep gratitude.

The impact of your generosity

This growing community is already bearing much fruit. A recent impact study we carried out with The University of Derby revealed:

  • 87% of participants felt a deeper connection to God
  • 87% viewed other people and situations with more kindness
  • 83% felt the way they live their life is more aligned to their values 
  • 76% reported having more inner peace. 

Many also spoke of how meaningful the practice community has become – highlighting the depth of the teachings, the simplicity and accessibility of the practice, and the sense of companionship it fosters.

For many, this is the first time they have been able to establish a regular meditation practice.

Our financial sustainability and reports

Although our reach is wide, our cost base remains intentionally low. We do not own or rent a building, employ just two part-time staff, and are supported by a small number of committed volunteers.

Our primary sources of income are donations and ticket income from retreats and events. This income helps sustain our free online meditation gatherings, while our bursary scheme supports those who would otherwise be unable to attend paid events because of financial circumstances. No one is ever turned away for lack of financial means.

This work is sustained by those who value it and choose to support it. Through shared generosity, the practice community is able to continue, grow and remain open to all.

All gifts are received with deep gratitude. Our annual reports are available via the Charity Commission website.

“The School of Contemplative Life has rapidly become my spiritual home.”

“I am feeling that I am coming to truth – and the peace that accompanies that sense of being.” 

“Since meditating, I am much more likely to see things and appreciate things as Sacred.”
