SUMMARY:Sacred Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Our approach to the study of Sacred Geometry seeks to reveal the interconnectedness of life and spirit: the physical and the spiritual\, the inner and the outer\, the individual and the universal. We will undertake the practical drawing of a variety of geometric patterns and perhaps discover something unexpected. \nGalileo wrote that the language of the universe was written in the characters of mathematics and geometrical figures. Leonardo da Vinci came to understand that geometry was the language which nature used to write her laws. Drawing with compass and straightedge is also a unique creative activity\, described by H. E. Huntley as one of the most intense joys the soul can experience. \nThe retreat leader\, Barbara Ryan\, has taught Sacred Geometry to children and adults for many years\, online and in person. Materials and equipment will be provided. Beginners are welcome. \n\n“Geometry is the art of visual philosophy.” \n\nFind Out More

SUMMARY:Economics with Justice
DESCRIPTION:Natural Law and the Just Society\nJoin with Dr Joseph Milne\, Honorary Lecturer at the University of Kent and Editor of Land & Liberty\, to explore key ideas from his new book Natural Law and the Just Society\, due for publication in September 2026. \nThe natural law tradition is rooted in understanding that human society has a place within the universe as a whole. Just as the universe has a natural order that is balanced and just\, so does human society. When a society conforms to its own real nature\, it can flourish and attain its proper end of prosperity and justice for all. \nThis view of a natural social order was central to ancient political and economic theory\, ranging from Hesiod\, through Greek philosophy and Roman jurisprudence to medieval theology. The philosophy of natural law has always held a special place and informed Western understanding of justice and the good society. \nSociety can be seen as a single body with different functions that should work harmoniously together. Economics with Justice can be seen as an expression of this natural harmony. Dr Milne’s work traces the history of natural law in its social framework and seeks to show how insights from the natural law tradition have practical application in our own times\, especially in the search for social and economic justice. \nThe retreat leader is Ian Mason. \n\n  \n“Explore key ideas from his new book\, Natural Law and the Just Society.” \n\nFind Out More

SUMMARY:February Snowdrops
DESCRIPTION:A perfect excuse for a walk! \n\nThere are few better places to celebrate the arrival of spring than Waterperry Gardens in Oxfordshire\, where the historic ornamental gardens provide the perfect setting for the Galanthus. With over a 100 different varieties\, we have the curated collection planted and named in many of our beds and borders. Then there is the historic collection which pop up around the old orchard\, river walk and many of our woodland areas. \nThese wonderful little heralds of spring carpet the old orchard and riverside walks at this time of the year\, and winter aconites are also likely to bring a smile to visitors’ faces\, providing new hints of colour in the garden (normal garden entrance fee applies). \nWaterperry boasts beautiful displays of double and single-flowered snowdrops all around the 20 acres of gardens and is the perfect excuse for a walk in the gardens followed by a visit to the Teashop to warm up – a lovely way to spend time with friends and family. \nOPEN DAILY 10:00AM – 5:00PM
