A Space to Bless, live from St Mary’s Cathedral

From Monday 12 April - Friday 16 April, a daily chapter was live-streamed at noon from the stunning St Mary’s Cathedral - offering a gathering, a text, space for meditation and a blessing, for a short time each day.

An invitation to prepare your space with a few simple actions and objects 

We hope these simple steps will help you connect with the performance ritual and to everyone joining us, from all around the world. 

Choose a quiet room, free of distractions and make yourself comfortable - or simply pop in some headphones wherever you are. If possible dim or switch off any electric lights and light some candles.

You may wish to watch each of the Chapters individually over 5 days, as they were intended originally, space them out over a few days or take your time to be with them over the course of a day.
