Led Led by Imogen Nay
Imogen Nay will lead a weekend exploring how spirituality and prayer can provide a hopeful way for us to respond to the environmental breakdown we are living through. Through, Bible, poetry, creative writing and guided meditations participants will be encouraged to find spiritual resources that can resource personal and community transformation.
Imogen is Vicar of St Paul's Church in Cambridge. Previous to this she ministered in parishes in South London and the Midlands, and was a residentiary Canon at Chelmsford Cathedral. Prior to ordination she worked with the vulnerably housed, those suffering from addictions, and worked to find safe routes for women out of sex work in the East End of London. Imogen has a track record in enabling churches to engage with Eco Church, and she has research interests in contemporary nature writing, Christian understandings of creation and the spirituality of wild swimming.
