Quiet Days
For any who would enjoy more time for silence, solitude and simplicity — apart from day to day busy-ness and burdens.
This is an opportunity to enjoy time for refreshment, re-creation and reconnection.
A group of about 10-15 will share the day respectfully, in a nearby, relaxed and lovely setting.
No previous experience of such events will be presumed.
