The Quiet Garden Movement

A morning of contemplative silence
2024-07-11 10:00 - 12:00, 2024-08-08 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | St Mary’s Church and Churchyard, St Mary’s Church, Hopesay, Shropshire, SY7 8HD, United Kingdom
We meet at 10.00 for a welcome and a reading and then enter into silence.
Rest there. You may simply reflect and watch the wildlife or you may paint, draw, write, read or pray. You are free to move around and explore the church and churchyard and to make a drink whenever you wish. We regroup briefly at 11.45. People may stay to eat their packed lunches together. There is a kitchen and a toilet.
The Quiet Garden Trust values Hospitality, Contemplation, Nature Connection and Creativity and we extend that to you of any faith or no faith.
Come with me by yourself to a quiet place and get some rest. (St. Mark’s Gospel 6:31)

Walking humbly with God
2024-07-20 11:00 - 15:00 | Sanctuary Quiet Garden, Sanctuary, 8 Hotham Close, Swanley, Kent, BR8 7UX, United Kingdom
Humility, like the bee making honey in the beehive, is always at work. Without it, everything goes wrong. [Teresa of Avila]
On this day we will explore how humility can help us grow in self-understanding and free us to share the best of who we are.
Humility is much misunderstood; it’s not about putting ourselves down in a destructive way.
The root of the word ‘humility’ is humus, meaning ‘of the earth’.
Through humility we become self-aware without being self-obsessed.
