Follow the Sun: Discernment for Midsummer

  • The House of Prayer 35 Seymour Road East Molesey United Kingdom (map)

Led by Dr Antonia Lynn

We risk losing touch with the rhythm of the seasons in lives ruled more by the clock than by the Sun. And yet there is a growing interest in spiritual discernment: learning to understand the seasons of the soul and hear what God is saying through them. St Ignatius Loyola, a pioneer of the art of discernment who learnt from his own experience the rhythms of spiritual consolation and desolation, advises us to pay attention to our bodies and even the weather of the different seasons in our prayer. So this day in Midsummer, once considered a sacred time of year, offers an imaginative chance to look at Ignatian discernment through the lens of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon ways of celebrating the seasons.

Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Cost: £30
