Quiet Day: Wisdom from the Wilderness with Angela Ashwin

Saturday 26 June 2021

10am – 4pm. On Zoom with the usual periods for personal reflection.
Booking essential; please use booking form below.

A Quiet Day exploring how the Desert Fathers and Mothers can help us both in our everyday spiritual lives and in ‘wilderness experiences’ like the pandemic.

Desert JawzandulamThis will be a day of reflection, worship and spaces for quiet, drawing on teachings and anecdotes from the colourful characters who went into the deserts of Egypt, Palestine and Syria from the 4th century onwards. While the Desert Fathers and Mothers can seem eccentric in their self-denial and sometimes strange actions, they were also generous hosts and wise guides. We will explore some ways in which their freedom of spirit and utter self-abandonment to God can inspire and encourage us now.

Very soon after the day we will send you, as email attachments, some further material for reflection on the themes addressed.

Angela Ashwin is the author of several books including Faith in the Fool: Risk and Delight in the Christian Adventure.   www.angelaashwin.com

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. We would be massively thankful if you are able to gift aid your donation, as it means we will receive an extra 25p from the Government per £1 donation made, at no extra cost to yourself.
