(re)Connecting with God - Autumn 2015
|
|
|
10 Monday
evenings 6:30 - 8:30pm
from 28th
September (excluding 26th October)
with Annette
Kaye and David Cherry
We are pleased to announce that we will be running this group again in
2015.
(re) Connecting with God is for anyone wishing to explore their
spirituality in an open and non-partisan way. It is an opportunity to
discover more about who you are, what you want from life, what life
wants from you, and who or what God is for you. ‘God’ is a tricky word
and we all mean something different by it.
We trust that God is good and is at work in us and in our lives, and
this group offers the space and some tools for us to pay attention,
notice, listen and connect to this God. Our exploration together is
experiential and will involve exercises on our own and in groups,
sharing experiences and learning from each other. This group is neither
a therapy group nor a course of study and, although we happen to be
Christian, it is open to anyone wishing to explore and discover. Read more and book.

*NEW
WORKSHOP*
Praying with
the Whole of our Being
Friday,
October 30th, 11 - 4pm Cost £45
with Jenny
Williams
This is an opportunity to connect with the original words that Jesus
spoke and allow the sound of them to touch us body, mind, emotion and
spirit. We will learn the first few lines of the Lord’s Prayer in
Aramaic, slowly, one line at a time, and learn to chant them -
gradually adding simple body movements that can be done seated or
standing. There will be time for personal reflection, some silence
and sharing. Read more and book
