DIARY

From May onwards we have some changes + continue with much loved gatherings in our Wild Monastery and Wild Church. More details below. Sadly I’m having to pause our ‘first Sunday of the month’ pilgrimages this year. Second Sunday of the month’ retreats continue at Brooking Church. Wild Monastics continue to meet on Zoom twice a month (2nd & 4th Wednesdays) and our Wild Cat(echetical) Course continues on Zoom (3rd Sundays) for existing members & new members are welcome to join us from September 2025.

Two special events are planned for this term: a Mary Magdalene Ceremony at 5pm on Sunday 20^th July and our
Moominsummer Celebration on the afternoon of Saturday 26^th July.

In addition:
First Monday of the month: (except bank holidays):The Community of Sophia and Mary (CSM)currently includes a closed ‘new monastic’ peer group for women.
