led by Adrian Scott.

Francis of Assisi was a man who feared the loss of wealth, looks, health and loved the good things of life; wine, women and song. In an encounter in a church with the crucified Jesus he realised that he had his priorities the wrong way round and that there were voluntary losses that could lead to a way of living that was based on acceptance, generosity and giving.
On this day we will explore what happened exactly to him in that Church and afterwards which made him one of the most joyful and profound human beings to have ever walked this earth.
Adrian has found that by entering into the experiences of Francis we can find ways of living which are liberating and help us change the way we look at ourselves, at Jesus as the image of the unseen God and at the world in which we live, especially the natural world. Spending the day in the company of Francis of Assisi on his feast day could be the best thing you have done for a long time.
Adrian Scott is a Retreat Leader, Spiritual Director, Facilitator, Community Development Consultant, and has walked with Francis for 30 years.
