Etty Hillesum

The Dutch Jew, Etty (Edith) Hillesum (1914-1942), is an unlikely mystic. After a rather aimless youth, the pressure of the Nazi persecution of the Jews in Holland during 1940-42 moved Etty to a life of love and service for all humans, both the persecuted and even the persecutors. Her realization of the universal love of God, as reflected in her Diaries, is a remarkable witness to new forms of mysticism in the modern world.

Bonnevaux Retreat Programme

Our new programme features a variety of retreats – liturgical retreats to support your spiritual journey through prayer, worship, and reflection during Holy Week and Advent led by our spiritual guide Laurence Freeman OSB;  a Deep Silent Retreat to join with others to go to a deeper and simpler place in solitude; retreats for those who’ve just started their personal journey with meditation and retreats to deepen your meditation practice. We will also have a special retreat for the younger meditators which will be an opportunity to reflect on and deepen our self-care so that we can better care for others.  

Join us in the peaceful and beautiful surroundings of Bonnevaux for a unique retreat experience to discover the transformative power of meditation and connect with a community of like-minded meditators.

Christ and the Anxieties of Speech

We live in a time when speaking on a whole range of issues seems profoundly fraught. In some contexts, flagrant untruth and hate are asserted seemingly without consequence or effective critique. Elsewhere speech is scrutinised minutely for traces of ‘cancellable’ thought or attitude.

Welcome to WCCM Academy

A programme of inter-disciplinary study in the context of contemplative practice, WCCM Academy is grounded in the Christian contemplative tradition as passed on through John Main and Laurence Freeman. The next cohort will be led by Rowan Williams, Sarah Bachelard and many more. Starting beginning March 2025.

We are growing as a community of meditators in more than 100 countries, committed to developing a contemplative Christian life for our time and to dialogue between religion, science, business and art, body and mind. At the heart of this community is the meeting of many weekly groups, both physically and online, which introduce the essential teaching of meditation and help to deepen the inner journey. Personal transformation leads then to social and global transformation.
