September Quiet Day: ‘Creation sings the Father’s song’ ***FULLY BOOKED***

£46

“Creation sings the Father’s song” – finding God’s presence in all of creation.

At the start of Creationtide, the month in the Christian calendar particularly dedicated to God as the Sustainer of all life,  come and spend a day amidst the beauty of God’s creation here at Launde Abbey.

Take time considering how much of scripture talks about the nature of God in the natural world around us and how we can become more aware of and alive to it if we take time to notice.

Mirabai Starr wrote: “when we bless the ordinary with the gift of our full attention, it brims over with holy light.” 

As part of the day there will be an opportunity to go on a “Soul Filled Meandering” with Jo around the grounds if you should so wish – a slow, gentle, contemplative walk in search of that “holy light”.

This quiet day will be led by Jo De Graaf, one of our College of Chaplains. Jo lives in Harby in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir with her husband, Cor. They have five children and Jo is a very proud Oma to 10 grandchildren, who bring the family such joy. A few years ago she felt God prompting and calling her to some form of ministry. Jo believes her ministry is to bring people into God’s Kingdom through love; using contemplative spirituality, hospitality and service of all kinds to help people feel a sense of wholeness within the love of God. Not only is Jo one of our volunteer chaplains, but is now the Associate Minister in the Parish of Old Dalby, and also Lay Chair of Framland Deanery.

Quiet Day price: £46 includes lunch and coffee and tea throughout the day.
