THE SEMPERVIVUM EXPERIENCE
Come and join some experiential activities and taster sessions by some of the Elders and members of the original Salisbury Centre community who have been carrying the flame and working with the original spiritual and psychological aims of the Salisbury Centre original founders!
‘Sempervivum was developed by Winifred Rushforth more than 50 years ago to further spiritual and psychological growth through a series of ‘schools’.
They have been meeting ever since. The Salisbury Centre grew out of the energy generated by this group amongst other influences.
Do come and join us in a mini version of the Sempervivum experience. We shall offer a set of activities covering the range that has evolved over the years – all with that initial aim of Winifred’s – spiritual and psychological growth.’
These activities are exploratory and responsive. As such they are structured to adapt to the situation rather than being prescribed. They are an adventure!
Time: 10:00 – 13:00
(To be joined as a whole 3 hours experience)
Choice of activities in Studio, Library, Wellspring Room
OR Fire space around the Salisbury Centre Fire-pit (with Gary Smith)
