Daylesford Abbey in Paoli will host a two-part summer workshop, “Pause: A Guided Christian Meditation Practice,” aimed at helping participants reconnect with their faith through quiet reflection and prayer. The sessions take place Saturday, July 26 and Saturday, Aug. 9 from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.

The workshop, grounded in sacred Scripture and modeled after Jesus’ invitation to “sit down,” offers a peaceful, Christ-centered meditation experience open to both newcomers and seasoned practitioners.

Jessica Hildebrand, Catholic author and retreat leader, will guide attendees through practices intended to foster calm, clarity and spiritual renewal.

Advance registration is required at $25 per session. Details are available at daylesford.org/events.

Daylesford Abbey is located at 220 South Valley Road in Paoli.
