We are inspired by people like St Columba of Iona, St Francis of Assisi and St
Theresa of Calcutta, whose lives seem to have been have been grounded in
simplicity and prayerfulness. mayBe is diving
deep into the ocean of Christian spirituality to seek more balanced, prayerful
and simple ways to live.

mayBe prayer

Daily prayer, wherever we are, is the foundation for simplicity in this
community. Drawing on various Christian prayer traditions we are working out we
might begin to make prayer space in our busy lives.

mayBe friends and family

We place a very high value on spending time with family and friends, so the week is not packed full of stuff.

mayBe rhythm of life

As in any community some ‘business’ meetings are part of life, but we keep them
to a minimum, and they are held in a very informal setting. Following a
biblical pattern of work and rest every 7th week is clear of all
mayBe gathered activity.

mayBe time out

We believe that making time in the working week for rest and recreation is
vital for well-being. Regular retreat and holiday are also important
ingredients in the search for simple connected living.

You want to follow Christ, and not look back: remember that,
as you walk in his footsteps, you will be irresistably drawn to share, and
to a great simplicity of life.

Br Roger of Taize

The search for simplicity is at the heart of mayBe
