Listening to the Rain – A combination of practical art sessions and meditations inspired by the writing of Thomas Merton:
“What a thing it is to sit absolutely alone, in a forest, at night, cherished by this wonderful, unintelligible, perfectly innocent speech, the most comforting speech in the world, the talk the rain makes by itself all over the ridges, and the talk of the watercourses everywhere in the hollows”.
There is an additional £5 cost for this day to cover art materials provided. |
