FIVE AIMS OF CHILL-UK

•  To develop and increase the number of Christian contemplative prayer resources for youth workers and young people being circulated in the UK .
•  To encourage communication between those working with young people in this area of spirituality through facilitating their networking.
•  To provide education on the subject.
•  To advertise retreats specifically for those working with young people and to encourage their increase.
•  To create and run the website which is the hub of the above and is a resource to people who are interested in the practice.

Vision Statement by Moya Ratnayake, Founder. Sept 2002.

HISTORY

Chill-UK was started in September 2002 as a way of doing something about the lack of resources, education and networking in the area of Christian Contemplative Prayer within youth work in the UK. It is supported by a council of reference (soon to be up on this site) from different denominations and contemplative traditions. Moya likes to think of them as the Wise Ones and is grateful for their support and advice. So far we have run seminars, networked, helped put the 'Tune In Chill Out' book together and built this website.

WebpersonMoya serves Richmond Team Ministry as Team Minister for Youth and Schools, 12 miles from the centre of London, UK. She supports in various roles, youth work students from the Centre For Youth Ministry and Oasis Youth Work and Ministry degree courses. In her spare time she mountain bikes, paints and learns tecky stuff slowly. She is involved in Grace, a creative worship community in west London.
