The Sower and the Seed

New Reflections for Lent 2025

5th March – 16th April 2025 Cost: £30, £35 with printed booklet

Spring: a season of sowing seeds and watching for green shoots. A time for noticing new growth and wondering what has germinated in the long winter months. A time to think about what we plant, what is planted in us and what is the ground of our being. To shed new light on old parables and look for seeds of hope in difficult times. And to consider the Sower, in whose hands new life flourishes.

The series is designed to be flexible, to fit in to daily life in whatever way suits you best. Each week, there is a new audio reflection along with a selection of related material to read and ponder which includes poetry, images, Scripture and other writing. Some people use it daily, others might spend a more concentrated period on it two or three times per week. All the printed material, including transcripts of the audio reflections, is available in an attractive A5 booklet – please select this option when you book.

Book on this page, or contact info@heartinpilgrimage.org.uk. Please book by Friday 28th February to allow for postage of booklets.
