Welcome!

After a restorative (though fiery) summer, in which I completed the manuscript to my short book Love for the Unloved Days, I'm looking forward to a cooler autumn, and one which is ripe for spiritual reflection.​​

​

Every now and again I send an email to announce a new series or resources or events, so make sure you are signed up to my general mailing list here. But here are a few details:

​

I'm leading my autumn email series in the week commencing Monday 28th September, called 'The Gathering'. Click here for more info, and please do join me!​

​

I'm leading a couple of 'Ode to Autumn' walking retreats in Winchester, Hampshire, where Keats wrote his sublime poem in the early autumn of 1819. Dates are Oct 8 and 17.

​

I'm presenting BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day on Sat 10th October.

​

NB - REVISED DATES FOR HUSH in Winchester:

​

HUSH! is a one-hour contemplative space at Christchurch, Winchester (SO23 9SR). We'll practice stillness and presence. Expect a little poetry, music and guided reflection to arise from the quiet, and to fall gently back in to the silence. Mondays Oct 19 and Nov 16, 8-9pm (not Nov 23 as previously advertised).

In the meantime, you may like to browse my YouTube channel here for reflections and interviews with John Philip Newell, Rob Bell, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, John Eldredge, Martyn Joseph and more!

​Throughout the turning seasons, I love to make space to connect soulfully and creatively with life in its fullness.​​​ I'm inspired by Cynthia Bourgeault to try to cultivate a 'deeply attuned mystical heart, anchored in a fierce, conscious presence'. It's always work in progress, but I know it's better together - so please do join me throughout the year!​​
