A Hunger for Depth and Meaning with Laurence Freeman OSB

24 min • 25 juni 2025
John Main has become regarded as a modern spiritual master, whose teaching on contemplative prayer inaugurated a global community and spiritual movement. John Main studied Law at Trinity College Dublin (1950-54). After a short career as a diplomat in Malaya, where he discovered meditation as part of the universal wisdom, he taught Law at Trinity from 1956–58. After becoming a Benedictine monk he discovered meditation in his own tradition and dedicated the rest of his life to restoring it as central to Christian life. Set in the university context that helped form him, this conference explores key aspects of his life and teaching. John Main’s transforming insight is rooted in mystical theology and his emphasis on personal experience has brought new life to this tradition today.
