The spiritual practice of contemplation is neither dated nor a new-age fantasy. For millennia, people of faith have used the practice of silence, solitude and meditation to connect to God and be fuelled for a life of ministry. The beauty of contemplative practices is that it reconnects us to who we are as children of God and challenges us to be people of being rather than doing. In an age that is obsessed with doing more to get more, we will explore what it would look like to be people who rest in the knowledge that God requires nothing more than our presence with him. It is in this knowledge that we are fuelled to be people who project the light that we receive to the world.
Lauren grew up at HumeRidge and when starting her Bachelor of Education at USQ, was put on staff in the youth ministry where she worked for eight years. In 2018, she moved to Pasadena, CA to study her Masters of Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. After receiving her degree, she has recently moved home to the Sunshine Coast where she hopes to be apart of building faith communities that give space for the marginalised and those who have been typically excluded from faith communities.
