Welcome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a restorative (though fiery) summer, in which I completed the manuscript to my short book Love for the Unloved Days, I'm looking forward to a cooler autumn, and one which is ripe for spiritual reflection.

I'll send an email out soon to confirm dates, so make sure you are signed up to my general mailing list here. But here are a few details:

I'm leading my autumn email series in the week commencing Monday 28th September. More details to follow soon.

I'm contributing to Renew:All - the online National Retreat Week - the week before (w/c 21st September).

I'm leading a few of 'Ode to Autumn' walking retreats in Winchester, Hampshire, where Keats wrote his sublime poem in the early autumn of 1819. Dates are likely to be Oct 8 and 17.

I'm presenting BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day on Sat 10th October.

And HUSH! is back - a one-hour contemplative space at Christchurch, Winchester (SO23 9SR). We'll practice stillness and presence. Expect a little poetry, music and guided reflection to arise from the quiet, and to fall gently back in to the silence. Mondays Oct 19 and Nov 23, 8-9pm.

Throughout the turning seasons, I love to make space to connect soulfully and creatively with life in its fullness.​ I'm inspired by Cynthia Bourgeault to try to cultivate a 'deeply attuned mystical heart, anchored in a fierce, conscious presence'. It's always work in progress, but I know it's better together - so please do join me throughout the year!
