This is happening on Sunday - all welcome.

It was so good to have been part of this yesterday as Wild Card, Christian Climate Action, Chris Packham and loads of other lovely people gathered to march, sing, pray and challenge the Church of The Church of England to rewild 30% of its land by 2030; to manage it, as the fifth mark of mission says, in a way that will "strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth."
Outside St Pauls Cathedral we unrolled the "95 Wild Theses" and various people spoke words of inspiration and challenge. We were disappointed that the Cathedral had felt the need to put up barriers to keep us of the steps and the piazza in front of the Cathedral - but we weren't about to give up our action that easily. We hope that they still heard and will be touched by what we had to say.

And one more thing to bring Creation-tide to a celebratory end.....

Well we went for our reflective walk. We saw cormorants coming in to roost in the trees at the edge of the water meadows, heard the deer calling and the wren chattering, and felt the gentle touch of the rain. And there was just a hint of sunset. Feeling peaceful.

Wednesday, all welcome. We might just see the sun set at the end of the walk.

A few invitations to a bit of outdoor spirituality in October. Everyone Welcome.

The planned pocket sized pilgrimage from Corfe castle to Kingston that was meant to be happening at noon tomorrow (Thursday Sept 19th) is cancelled due to me having Covid.
Hopefully I will be able to make a different date when I'm better. Apologies if you were planning to come.

Having been enthusiastically pushing this for a few weeks we have had to cancel due to COVID - bother!!

Another "season of creation" activity. Everyone welcome. (Real fire will be back this month as Autumn begins) Do message me for more details.

Today’s activity for the season of creation.

A Pocket Sized Pilgrimage One and a half weeks into Creation-tide and we have talked about caring for creation in our churches, and in our schools, and maybe you have even been having a few conversations about it with your …

Just saying again that this is happening on Wednesday and you are all very welcome. In response to a couple of questions – dogs are also welcome to come, and it might be wise to bring something waterproof, upon which to sit while we have lunch. (I think it might be a little squelchy here and there.)

This is happening at my place - Wednesday September 4th - all welcome.
