Contemplative Dialogue is designed to facilitate a non-threatening, ‘safe place’ for open sharing and discussion. The focus is on listening to ourselves and others, rather than formulating a response to what is being said.
Space to Reflect is a reflective service led by members of the Whirlow community.
You are invited to join us for a fun afternoon crafting; creating simple journals / journal cards, pockets and tags - all using recycled materials.

The month before Christmas can easily become a blur of shopping, visiting, parties and travel. We invite you to join us in a day of quiet preparation as we slow down and reflect on the themes of hope, salvation, compassion and tenderness.

As we journey through Advent, this day will be an opportunity to reflect on the theme of wondering and wandering through the medium of stitching a snippet roll.
