The Well Centre for Spirituality at Elsie Briggs House

The silence and peace in The Well, arising from the prayer that is central to its purpose, makes it special. Open-minded, imaginative spiritual practices.

We welcome everyone from wherever they come to contemplative spirituality in a medieval setting.

Still some places on what should prove to be a fascinating weekend..

The Enneagram is an ancient tool which comes from several wisdom traditions. It has been described as a 'powerful tool for self discovery, personal and spiritual growth.'
It fosters self-awareness and transformation through understanding the nine different personality types that make up the human family – their gifts and blind spots. It is most helpful when combined with other spiritual practices and should not be seen as a one-off personality assessment but as an ongoing tool for a life-long journey.
This weekend workshop is for beginners on the Enneagram journey ,with little or no knowledge of the Enneagram but who want to begin a journey of self discovery. It will help you to identify your own personality type and to have an understanding of all the others.
Future workshops are planned for those who want to go deeper and further on the Enneagram journey.
Please bring packed lunches, refreshments provided.
This is a non-residential weekend, however we have accommodation for two people coming from further away. £45/night inc. breakfast.

✨ This coming Saturday May 16th..

The poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins..

' The world is charged with the grandeur of God'
This workshop will explore how Hopkins’s profoundly idiosyncratic and innovative works erupted into 19th-century poetic idiom and in some ways changed the course of poetry. In (playful) group and individual writing exercises, we will touch in to some of the ways in which Hopkins, with his extraordinary ear and sensitivity to the living Word, summoned reality in his works in an entirely original way.
Matthew Barton has published four full collections of poetry, and a translation of Rilke's Duino Elegies. Awards for his work include BBC Wildlife Poet of the Year, 2nd prize in the National Poetry Competition, the Strokestown prize, and an Author's Foundation Grant. He was also co-founder and editor of Raceme, a Bristol-based poetry journal.
