My meditation is essentially based on Cistercian monastic practices. Daily reading and meditation (lectio divina) on the Psalms and other essential Scripture readings along with living in prayer. The Cistercians live by the motto “Ora et Labora,” that is, Prayer and Work. For the past 10 years I have been influenced by the work of the Holy Spirit and my relationship with several monks of Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky. I make regular day trips and weekend retreats to the Abbey for Spiritual guidance and creativity, which always involves photography and poetry writing. I am also a Lay Cistercian of Gethsemani.
