Consider the lilies of the field.’ Beginning at 10:15am, the day is structured around observation and reflection, encouraging attendees to consider how birds, plants, and other elements of the natural environment can deepen spiritual understanding. Grace Owen will guide the group through these themes, fostering a contemplative atmosphere throughout the session. The event is priced between £45 and £135, depending on the booking option selected, making it accessible to a range of participants.
