Seasonal Quiet Garden Days
8th April
15th July
14th October
2nd December
“If you stand still for a few minutes in the relentless onward rush of 21st century life you might hear a quiet but insistent undercurrent. It is the cry of our hearts for space and time just to be, to listen to the heartbeat of creation, to let our souls catch up. Quiet gardens offer just such longed-for oases of peace. They open up once more what all our busy-ness has buried – the precious gift of heart-time and soul-space.”
Margaret Silf – patron of The Quiet Garden Movement

Advanced Enneagram
19th September 2026
The Purpose of the workshop is to work within the context of personal growth. Having done the initial Enneagram groundwork and gone deeper, in this next workshop we seek to explore spiritual growth via upstream and downstream exercises. We then will be studying the concept of the Soul Child and delve into deeper waters of what we most judge.
