STOP PRESS!!

In this time of plague and liminality, I invite you to prayer on Zoom at 8.30am every Monday and Wednesday. For more information, read “Praying together”.

Julian Maddock

I am a spiritual director, trainer, supervisor, and writer, based in West London and Teesdale, Co. Durham.

Through kindly attention to the sensations of this body you can connect into a process of ever-deepening immersion into the reality of God at the heart of life.

I write here primarily about:

God, and how to foster your relationship with God;
prayer, and how to pray; and
how attending to this body is prayer and a way to be present in the Presence.
