Sacred Encounter: Remembrance

Rydal Hall gardens and woods, Rydal Hall Rydal, LA22 9LX

Join us in a sacred encounter at Rydal Hall.
Soak in nature, celebrate and give thanks for the goodness in the world, and gather
as community in the beautiful surroundings of Rydal Hall.
This month’s Sacred Encounter is an opportunity to remember those who have made sacrifices for us and to celebrate their lives by walking up a small local hill to make a cairn. The cairn is a symbol of the people who have made sacrifices for us, with each of us bringing a rock to form the cairn.
We will also gather as community in the sharing of food and conversation around a fire at the Pilgrim’s Rest. The Sacred Encounter is preceded by an opportunity to soak in nature through a walk, run, cycle or swim; or creative writing, reading or art.
Please bring: a rock for the cairn and food to share for a Jacob’s Join lunch.
Meeting Point: Rydal Hall Café entrance

St Oswald's Grasmere

A very warm "Welcome!" to St Oswald's Church, Grasmere

We are in the heart of the central Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St Oswald's is a medieval church on a 7th century site - a sacred place of prayer and celebration since the earliest days of christianity in northern Britain. William Wordsworth with his wife Mary and sister Dorothy Wordsworth rest in our churchyard along with their family and villagers. 

Locals and visitors "belong" here, both for quiet reflection and the joy of communal worship and music on Sundays and festivals. 

Join us!
