Prayer and Life Workshops provide an experience of prayer in a systematic and practical manner. Through a course of fifteen two-hour weekly sessions, participants learn by working and work by learning. The movement 'teaches prayer by praying' and its method is wholly based on the Word of God. The central focus in each session is reading and meditating on the Word. During four months, for each day of the week, the participants are given text from the New and Old Testaments so that they can meditate and pray them in their homes using the Brief Guidelines to meditate and live the Word.
