Immortal Autumn


Immortal Autumn

seasonal poems to nourish the soul

Saturday 24 October

10am - 4pm

Autumn is the season of ripeness and harvest, of equinox and remembrance; a final flourish of red and gold before the shedding and burning of leaves.
Stephen Weaver presents a sequence of poems which explore the themes of letting-go and longing for wholeness, as the year looks toward its dying.
The day will include input from Stephen, as well as time for shared and silent reflection.
No scholarly background required; just an enthusiasm for words and images!
Stephen is a psychotherapist and retreat-giver, based in west London.


Tickets £10 available from 01268 780810


The Day

Registration will take place from 10 - 10.15am although the church will be open for tea and coffee from 9.30am for those arriving early.
The morning session will start at 10.15am, with a coffee break later in the morning.
We will break for lunch at 12.30, with soup and roll provided.
The afternoon session will commence at 1.30pm and will include some Quiet Time.
The day will finish at 4 pm



We shall soon find
That almost - winter's here But not quite yet. There's time and space
For worthy fallings, songs and things
That have no words except pure grace
And all its whisperings.

Elizabeth Jenninngs
