A Greening Heart - a weekend with Saint Hildegard

Join spiritual director Elinor Galbraith and take some time aside to explore Saint Hildegard of Bingen, the great writer, composer, philosopher, mystic and visionary of the middle ages and a woman for or times. 

During the weekend we will be guided by her inspirations around, Spirituality, Health and Healing, Creativity and Viriditas ( the greening power of God) nature and creation.

This retreat will be part exploration, part sharing and reflective.

Bring your journal, art material ( if you like), walking shoes, a blanket for sitting or resting in the green outside, and warm clothes.
