Guided Meditation Audio
MORSL hosts ad-hoc meditation sessions to help cope with the stress of university life, especially during exams. Our Gnostic Faith Volunteer Rev. Deacon Jonathan Stewart has kindly offered a few guided meditations for students. Jonathan is a Montreal freelance writer and editor who's been meditating in different traditions for 20 years. He's meditated and studied everywhere from Christian monasteries to a variety of Buddhist retreats, and he's taken the MBSR course to see it all from a secular perspective. He led meditation classes and taught courses at the Presence Meditation Studio and has a weekly free secular meditation circle for everyone. His primary passion is the Western Wisdom Traditions and he is the meditation facilitator and Deacon for the Montreal parish of the Esoteric and Gnostic Apostolic Johannite Church. He lives in Mile End with his wonderful wife and his 14-pound cat.
