As 2019 draws to a close, the theme will be Gratitude – things we are grateful for, and things we become grateful for…

“Christmas reveals that heaven is not another place but this place clearly seen. God is already inscribed in nature, the very DNA of each one of us. Love, from the beginning, with its necessary suffering and death, is the very physical structure of an inexorably evolving universe. It is important, therefore, to remember, in this graced perception, that nothing is changed, adjusted. God’s first creation needs no correction. At Incarnation nothing new is added. Nothing – except the sublime new meaning of the familiar, the infinite depth of all that already is. We now know that God has always been the shape and substance of everything. Only the light has changed.” Daniel O’Leary

Join us to celebrate Christmas Day, season of hope, goodwill and fellowship, when we honour the Christ light in everyone.

Led by Laura Dobson. All welcome.

Underneath the Christian or the Pagan celebrations at this time of year, lies astronomy and the position of this planet in space, whatever that is. This service will reflect on the astronomical mysteries which we perceive as seasons, a time to ponder who we are and where we are.
Led by Hilary Bichovsky. All welcome.

Join our informal gathering to celebrate Yule, the festival of reflection and renewal. At this time we pause and listen to our inner wisdom in the stillness, becoming aware of the seeds of our future growth waiting for birth. We welcome the rebirth of the sun at the winter solstice, seeking renewal in our lives by honouring the darkness and the return of the light within.

This year our celebration will have a heathen flavour. We will work with the seasonal energies through meditating, singing, chanting and sharing our insights.
Please feel free to bring poems, songs, stories or other offerings to share with the group.

After the circle celebration we will share seasonal food.
Led by Laura Dobson and Martin Singer. All welcome.

Warm your body and soul at our annual carol service! Full of joyful carol singing, inspiring readings and heart-warming performances by our choir. Followed by mulled wine (or fruit punch) and mince pies. Please feel free to bring friends and family. All welcome.

To deepen into silence in the company of others can be a very powerful experience. Give yourself permission to pause – calm your mind, body and spirit, recuperate and boost your vitality, explore deep inner work and develop self awareness.
Led by Grainne Gordon. No meditation experience necessary. All welcome.

Join us for a contemplative service of Taize song chants, readings and silence, celebrating the Divine Feminine in the person of Mother Mary

Centering prayer originated with Father Thomas Keating, a Trappist monk who was inspired by both Christian contemplative monasticism and Zen Buddhism. It is a form of silent prayer or meditation focused on a sacred word of your choosing. Participants will be invited to choose one of the words of Advent – Hope, Peace, Joy, Love – to work with in the meditation.
Led by Laura Dobson. All welcome.
