Private Notes
Abbot Christopher Jamison invites the volunteers to spend a couple of days with his community of monks in Sussex where they learn more about completive prayer and meditation.
Abbot Christopher Jamison, a Benedictine monk, believes that he can teach five ordinary people the value of silent meditation - as practised by monks in monasteries - so they can make it part of their everyday lives. He has sent his five volunteers to undertake a daunting eight days in complete silence at a specialist retreat centre. This episode follows their journey into the interior space that time in silence reveals. They encounter anger, frustration and rebellion, but finally find their way to both personal and spiritual revelation.
Abbot Christopher Jamison, a Benedictine monk, believes that he can teach five ordinary people the value of silent meditation - as practised by monks in monasteries - so they can make it part of their everyday lives. His five volunteers have spent eight days in complete silence, and now it's time to find out the results of Father Christopher's experiment. Will they make silent contemplation a part of their everyday lives? How much will their lives be changed by what they have discovered in their time in silence? And will Abbot Christopher's hope, that they will discover a new belief in God, be fulfilled?
