Space for Silence at St Johns Waterloo, with the Loving Earth exhibition
73 Waterloo Road London SE1 8TYCome and go as you like. In the candlelit crypt you can meditate — or just breathe — as you choose. There’ll be resources for those who wish to use them, and chairs and bean bags . If you prefer to lie down you may want to bring a yoga mat.
The crypt will be open from 5.45 playing quiet music for those who wish to enter the peaceful space sooner and prepare for the silence which will begin at 6pm.
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.
Rachel Summers: The Parable of the Slug
73 Waterloo Road London SE1 8TYAs Rachel says: ‘Many people find that they experience spiritual connection more readily when outdoors, and indeed the Bible is full of imagery drawn from the natural world. Creation is well able to speak to us of the creator, and we can take each encounter as our own personal parable, listening to what God wishes to share with us through it.’
Part of the Spirit of Creation series at St John’s
We are increasingly disconnected from the earth and from one another, and we are impoverished as a result.
We are seeing nature despoiled by the same forces that violate and oppress the human spirit. Why is it more compelling to imagine planetary collapse than the end of injustice? How can we change the story? How can we make the connections so urgently needed so that we can work together to create a place where all can flourish?
