The theme of these evenings is ‘Summer’

This evening will focus on slow living and slow crafting appreciating the summer to come. Set in the beautiful surroundings of St. George’s Church we will work either inside or out depending on the weather.

The Stamp Studio is a large selection of stamps and ink pads selected from The English Stamp Company and Noolibird Stamps.

We will stamp into journals which can be used at home to journal ideas, notes and more. A resource to continue long after the Summer months have ended.

Cold drinks or coffee and snacks are provided along with all of the materials.

£10.00 per participant per evening. If you don’t finish in one evening come back the following week to complete.

Maximum participants is 14.

Please RSVP to book.

Tuesday 28th July

6.00pm for cold drinks or coffee

6.15pm Celtic Evening Prayer

6.30pm Short talk on the history of the labyrinth

6.45 - 9.00 time to walk the labyrinths, listening to the still small voice.

Ask for the Ancient Paths, and find rest for your Soul.

For centuries, followers of ‘The Way’ have used floor and finger labyrinths as a symbol of pilgrimage and embodied prayer.

Labyrinths are found in parks, gardens, hospitals, hospices, retreat centres, health facilities, churches, cathedrals, universities, and schools. We will look at labyrinths as sacred spaces, their shapes, stories, spirituality and significance in our personal journeys as a way to ‘slow down to catch up with your soul’.

Labyrinth walking helps centre our mind during times of change and growth. In our world today, where there is so much uncertainty and confusion, we, too, can find clarity and direction by practising meditative prayer and contemplation.

This is a time for quietness and reflection. Come and experience a breathing space which invites you to take much-needed time to rest and explore.

There will be wooden finger labyrinths and a full size canvas labyrinth which will be (safely) candlelit.

Please bring a spare clean pair of socks to use on the Labyrinth!

We ask for a donation to cover our costs.

Please RSVP to book.

We will resume our evenings when the weather gets warmer!

At Silent Book Group there's no assigned reading. We gather to read our own books together.

All readers are welcome—ebooks or audiobooks, poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction.
