Our PurposeTo create trustworthy spaces and community to explore and deepen the spiritual journey – awakening to our true self and the capacity to be fully human.

Brighton & Hove Centre for Spirituality

Experience Lectio Divina, a contemplative prayer that involves four movements, often summarised as reading, reflecting, responding and resting. When we pray using Lectio Divina (which means divine reading) we see scripture as God’s living words spoken into our hearts in this moment. Lectio divina is like reading poetry in that we slow down and savour what we read. Lectio divina has its roots in a Hebrew method of studying scripture called haggadah, an interactive interpretation of the scriptures by means of the free use of the text to explore its inner meaning. It was part of the devotional practice of the Jewish faith in the time of Jesus. The earliest forms of lectio as Christian prayer were from the desert fathers and mothers dating from the third century and then developed within the Benedictine monastic tradition. In lectio we are invited to listen to the biblical text with “the ears of the heart” (St Benedict). Come and try this ancient prayer practice for yourself.
