The Quiet Garden Movement Annual Gathering in 2016 took place at Totley Rise Methodist Church – the theme was Seeds Sown: the Quiet Garden Journey.

Below you will find the audio of the sessions during the day, plus accompanying photos or handouts.

1. The journey of Totley Rise Quiet Garden – Louise Grosberg and team shared the story of their Quiet Gardens

2. ‘Teilhard de Chardin’s journey in Christ’ with Revd Philip Roderick (Founder-Director)

3. Finding (and using) Our Quiet Spaces in Daily Life with Matt Freer (Quiet Garden Project Manager)

The audio recording on the day didn’t work so well for this session – but it is part of a new resource available for group or individual use. You can do the exercise yourself or with your group – click here
