The Brotherhood of St Laurence is a community organisation that works to prevent and alleviate poverty across Australia.

At the Brotherhood of St Laurence, we want to drive change to ensure that we have a compassionate and fair society where everyone has a sense of belonging.

Poverty is not just having too little money to live on. It can also mean being shut out from many other aspects of social and economic life that people commonly take for granted: a job, a home, being connected to community.

We invite you to join us every Saturday (except the second Saturday of the month) for our Meditation Meetings and Spiritual Talks, always held free of charge, from 7.00 pm to 8.30pm at the Living and Learning Centre! 

These meeting are organised by Science of Spirituality (SOS). Science of Spirituality, a global non-profit, spiritual organization is run by thousands of volunteers in over 54 countries. SOS offers to people an opportunity to find peace, joy, and spiritual fulfilment by treading the path of positive mysticism. It organizes free spiritual conferences, talks, workshops, retreats, and meditation seminars to help individuals and communities achieve deeper, richer inner lives with a stronger sense of meaning and purpose. 

Science of Spirituality is led by world renowned meditation teacher Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj who is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher of meditation. As President of the Human Unity Conferences and head of Science of Spirituality, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj teaches the oneness at the heart of all religions, emphasizing meditation and selfless service as building blocks for achieving peace. He has helped people from all walks of life connect to their true selves by teaching them the art of meditation.
