"If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts." Alan Cohen

Shared silence is a central part of St Ethelburga’s life.

This spring, as well as our regular lunchtime meditations, we also have a variety of workshops and courses. If you are interested in helping to develop (or participating in), a regular multi-faith evening meditation, please contact us.
