Pilgrimage to Now/here – Without Winter there’d be no Spring
In the middle of January, we had a Pilgrimage to Now/here day based at Longshaw in the Peak District. Our theme was, “Without winter there’d be no spring”, a paraphrase of a quote by the Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet (1612-72)
This edition includes reflections on the Wisdom on the Way held in November – Embodying Hope for the Climate.
Rachael Hand, a member of St Marks and an artist/climate change activist, led our two morning sessions, expressing her huge concern for our beautiful world and the damage climate change is causing.
There are also reports on the work of the Board and Hub.
