 A day exploring selected poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins. His poems describe God’s world in dynamic images and rhythms.   Stretching language almost to breaking point, the poet invites the reader to observe the natural  world more closely , to look inward into the human mind and heart, and then  to take the final step of entering into the stillness and silence of contemplative prayer.   

 

Graeme is an Anglican priest and a meditator within the World Community for Christian Meditation.   He co-leads a meditation group in his local church.  A spiritual director and leader of retreats, he is the author of Strike the Cloud: Understanding and Practising the Teaching of the Cloud of Unknowing (SPCK 2011), and The Song of Songs: a Contemplative Guide (SPCK 2014).
