Centering Prayer Summit
Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th January, 2026
Cynthia Bourgeault, Carl McColman, Adam Bucko, Tia Norman and more
A sacred space to meet the present with honesty and openness. Together we will explore how the dark night—both personal & collective—can become a place of awakening rather than despair, a place where the deeper Light that has never stopped shining, begins to make itself known. Experience how Centering Prayer opens us to the quiet hope already alive within.

Night School: Because All Growth Starts in the Dark
from Spiritual Wanderlust, 7th Feb 2026-9th Jan 2027
Jim Finley, Barbara Brown Taylor, Christine Valters Paintner & more
Night School is a twelve-month journey through the Dark, offering the rituals, practices, and companionship humans have long relied on in times of deep transformation—whether the descent was chosen or unchosen. This is a gathering place for people to learn that darkness does not signal abandonment, but intimacy; that breaking open is also a becoming; and ultimately, that longing stretches our hearts open for the only thing that will satisfy: union.
Cost: from $27USD, c.£20. Other options available
