Join us a wonderful evening of music in Belfast with Irish-American singer-songwriter John Francis O’Mara for an evening of songs and stories exploring love, justice, lament and hope.

We’ll gather at the beautiful Nendrum monastic site for a gentle, reflective evening outdoors, shaped by silence, simple guided meditation, and the atmosphere of this ancient sacred place.

This won’t be a formal service or a long walk - just a chance to slow down, pay attention, and mark the season together in a more grounded and spacious way.

The evening will be a time to learn more about contemplation and how you can meet God in the stillness, no matter where you are in your faith or what your faith might look like.

Rewilding God

For some of us, “God” has become loaded, complicated, or just… unusable. For others it still carries beauty, comfort, and deep meaning.

This month is about giving ourselves permission to be honest and curious.

A short, accessible talk to open up March’s theme.

What to expect

• Fresh language for God (beyond “sky manager” and “cosmic judge”)

• A few provocations, but no pressure

Before there were texts, there was terrain.
Before words were written, there was wind, weather, rhythm, and season.

This Wild Practice offers a simple, outdoor way of engaging February’s theme — Rewilding the Bible — by stepping outside the world of explanations and into a space of attention, presence, and listening.

In this online event, Marisa Johnson, Executive Secretary of Quakers in Britain, invites us into a different way of framing scripture: not as a rulebook dropped from heaven, but as a living witness to people’s encounters with the divine.

What if the Bible isn’t the problem, but our accumulated, exhausting expectations of it are?

Rather than treating the Bible as a single, flawless rulebook, this session explores what it means to approach it as a library of texts: shaped by history, culture, poetry, argument, faith, and disagreement — which is exactly why it’s so inspired and useful.
