The Dayspring Community
Contemplative Spirituality
When Dayspring was formally established in 2001 its goal was fairly straightforward - to develop a Contemplative Heart.
We recognised that for many Christians the ancient spiritual practices of prayer and meditation in all their various forms were lost to us and had to be discovered anew. This was especially so for many people who were pastors and ministers in communities of faith.
So we set up ways to spread this good news.

We held events that would teach these old skills as new. Workshops, day retreats and residential retreats, many enhanced by the leadership of international guests, became our gift to the church.

We also reached out to those in ministry work offering a structured approach to their practice of ministry that was able to take advantage of these contemplative skills. This training became our gift to those in ministry.

CORE VALUES
- Hospitality – we seek to welcome and helping support pilgrims on the next step of their journey. Taking the time to sit with someone and listen to their story, may be life changing.
- Compassion - we seek to imitate Jesus as we respond with warmth and care to those in need or pain around us.
- Inclusion – we are committed to creating an environment where all feel welcome and safe, regardless of background, racial or cultural differences.
- Justice – we aim to promote a balanced and fair relationship with self, neighbour, all of creation and with God.
