Quiet Day in The Bishop's Garden with Demelza

for 5 hours
The Bishop's Garden

St Clare of Assisi lived a life of poverty, simplicity and prayer in the 13th century,
sharing a deep love of God’s creation with her contemporary, St Francis. The Bishop
of Exeter has kindly offered his garden for this Quiet Day, which will explore aspects
of Clare’s life through prayer, poetry, music and, of course, her own writings. There
will be plenty of silence throughout the day for you to reflect on how Clare’s witness
might continue to inspire your own Christian life today.
Demelza Henderson leads Quiet Days and longer residential retreats across the UK through her work
with the Association for Promoting Retreats. She is also an Oblate of the Society of Our Lady of the
Isles, which combines her love of contemplative prayer with her joy in the natural world.
