WAITING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
If so, you might be interested to know that a meeting for contemplative prayer and discussion takes place monthly.
It's open to anyone who is interested in the practice of waiting silently in the presence of God in prayer.
For further details of this local group,
email BARBARA BREGAZZI on barbara_bregazzi@hotmail.com
JULIAN MEETINGS were set up in England in 1973 to foster the teaching and practice of contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition. Their members are encouraged to practice Christ-centred meditation in their daily lives and to explore ways of doing this appropriate for them. Being prepared to wait on God in silence, sharing in leadership and spending time listening to God are all important features of a Julian group.
Membership is not restricted to any one denomination
The meetings are called after MOTHER JULIAN OF NORWICH, a holy woman who was born in 1342. When seriously ill and close to death, she received 16 visions of God's love which were recorded as "The Revelations of Divine Love"
She insists that we should see God as loving above all else and that we are His delight.

ACCESS TO KEEILL SITES
When making your plans, can we ask you please to be careful about access to the keeill sites ?
Some require permission, as they are on private land, or involve crossing private land to reach the keeill.
If you're in any doubt about your plans, use the CONTACTS section to email us and we'll help wherever possible.
Dogs are great companions when walking - but keeills are sometimes found on farm land heavily populated with sheep and lambs so PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU'RE BRINGING A DOG WITH YOU, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO KEEP THEM ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES - THANK YOU
