Press Pause

Press Pause is a regular event at Beverley Minster for anyone wanting to take time out to experience God’s presence through teaching and time with others.  All are welcome whether you are newly exploring faith or have been on the faith journey for many years.

Silence, self-awareness and awareness of the present moment can deepen our spirituality and connection with God.  After some introductory explanation we will try some mindfulness techniques and explore contemplative prayer.  There will be time for prayer, reflection, discussion and coffee!

REVD ANDREW DE SMET is an Anglican priest, counsellor/psychotherapist, spiritual director and mediator.  He recently retired from being York Diocesan Advisor in Pastoral Care.  Previously he worked in parish ministry and ran a retreat centre.  Before ordination he worked in microbiology.  He enjoys painting and the natural world.

Hot and cold drinks will be provided on arrival and at the coffee break.

The event is free but there will be an opportunity to give towards the ministry of the Minster in arranging future Press Pause events.
