    The Regular Breathe meditation sessions on Monday evenings invite reflection on spiritual writings from various traditions, and using music, poetry and silence to create space for contemplative connection with the spirit. This short service will follow a common format but each time, we’ll use different music, poems and readings and contemplative practices from various traditions. 

    100 panels from  Loving Earth Project are currently on displaying the Old Crypt at St John’s and this will be an opportunity to reflect more deeply with them.

    Register here and please aim to arrive at 5.45 to settle in before the meditation starts.

    “To see a World in a Grain of Sand
    And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
    Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
    And Eternity in an hour.”

    This event is part of the Exploring Spirit Season at St John’s.

    Mark Vernon is a psychotherapist and writer, with a keen interest in ancient philosophy, as well as the illumination of inner life. His writing covers subjects from friendship and beliefs, to wellbeing and living in the modern world. He’s currently working on a book about local artist William Blake and his talk will look at Blake’s understanding of spirit, mysticism and the natural world.
