Stories of how we pray and find peace. Kate and Jason meet a Benedictine and Buddhist monk who have tips to help us all find moments of calm and connection.
Rev Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad meet two monks to learn about surprisingly simple ways we can find moments of calm, connection and mindfulness.
Father Peter Williams is a Benedictine monk at Worth Abbey in West Sussex. His long journey there began after an intense moment of spiritual connection he experienced in bed one night more than 25 years ago. He tells Kate about that life changing moment, how embracing silence and stillness is a form of prayer and what difference it makes.
Gelong Thubten once led a hectic life as an actor living between London and New York. After suffering from depression and anxiety he went back to his Buddhist roots to live in a monastery and devote himself to meditation. He tells us what he learnt from making such a big change and explains how easy it is to tap into mindfulness - even while queuing!
