A contemplative quiet day using chosen writings of Evelyn Underhill

Led by Valerie Thompson. Valerie will use her experience of Underhill's style of writing to present a variety of Evelyn's sayings and prayers. Participants will be able to choose one or two passages to meditate with in the peaceful atmosphere of Pleshey house and garden. There will be opportunities to discuss the sayings and prayers, participants will be free to join this or have their own private space.
