Silence in the City

This short film by Claire Morgan explores the importance of Christian Meditation in the lives of a group of young people who meet to meditate in the busy heart of Sydney, Australia. Claire and fellow meditator John Shields tell their own stories, while Celia Carroll introduces the group and brings to life the life the history of this ancient form of Christian prayer. Blending movement and music with silence and space, the film draws viewers into what meditation teacher Giovanni Felicioni describes as 'the moment of Christ'.

'The young today often feel the pressures and fears of modern life very intensely even as they sense the great potential within themselves and hold out hop for our world.  This film, with its powerful witness from young Christian meditators, situates these isssues in a spiritual and faith context'
