Connection ~ Presence ~ Care
In a noisy world, sometimes we long for a moment to simply be quiet and rest. During this time of Covid, while many have been forced into solitude and isolation, it has not always felt calm or comfortable. And yet, our world is filled with silence. A silence that helps us to listen, to be truly present to ourselves and others, to be tranquil and to heal.

Yet there are others who are silenced, not simply because of Covid but because somehow we choose not to hear them. Those whose lives feel distant from ours, whose stories do not reach us, those who live behind a wall of noise. As we emerge from lockdown together, can we cultivate an inner calm, a curious ear and a more compassionate heart?
This is an open invitation to join together in a time of quiet - a moment, an hour or an entire turn of the globe. An experience of deep calm and reflection. A mix of activity and rest as the sun rises and sets wherever we are.
As The Globe Turns is a retreat for all, led by inspirational coach and leader, Maria Garvey, journeying together into the stillness at the centre of our turning world.
Via Zoom, this Retreat will run around one turn of the 24 hour clock, enabling people to join in a common experience spanning the solstice.
This will be a not for profit event recognising that while we take the Retreat, others are working to respond to Covid 19 in countries without voice, where the challenges are not being reported and the stories are not being told.
All funds raised will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontiers / Doctors Without Borders to support them in providing a programme of care and protection to people vulnerable to the pandemic and at risk of not being heard in their time of need.
