A Quiet Day led by Brian Draper

‘Real and Colourful, Fruitful and Whole’: Encountering God in the Season of Autumn

Through a mix of guided reflections, teaching and contemplative practice, we’ll explore how one of the most soulfully evocative of all the seasons can help us to encounter the Creator afresh, within its ‘hidden wholeness’ – in the leaf-fall and the fruitfulness, the dark and the light, the letting go and the gathering up. It’ll be a time to savour the spirituality both of hunkering down and getting outside to savour the colours and textures of Creation! And a chance to reflect on the season we’re in personally. Come not just to welcome autumn, then, but to be part of its gorgeous wholeness!
