Russ Parker and Michael Mitton have been leading pilgrimages in Ireland, the British Isles and Assisi for over twelve years. This week participants will be going on a pilgrimage using the landscape of the Lee Abbey Estate and Valley of Rocks as they visit the themes of shoreline, forest, waters and high places. There will be opportunities for pilgrims to receive God’s blessings in relation to these vibrant themes. There will be also teaching, silent reflection, conversation and encounter, all wonderfully rooted in a rhythm of worship.
