Whisperings from the Rowan Tree: Calming Stories, Guided Therapy for Grief, Trauma, & Healing23 Jul

The Brightest Place In The Kingdom

What happens when you travel to one of the brightest, busiest and most magical places in the world… only to discover that the place you most want to be is sitting quietly in a hotel room with a book?

In You Are Cordially Invited… to the Brightest Place in the Kingdom, Nell Rowan enters a world of castles, fireworks, music, crowds and carefully organised enchantment. But somewhere between aching feet, endless queues, an elusive cup of tea and a hotel room with no kettle, she discovers something she hadn’t realised she was searching for.

Quiet.

This gentle, humorous and reflective story from Whispering From the Rowan Tree explores the pressure to make the most of every moment, the different ways we experience wonder, and the surprising places where peace can find us.

Perhaps sitting still is not missing life.

Perhaps it is where life finally catches up with us.

Come and sit beneath the Rowan Tree for a while.

The chair is waiting.

And, naturally, the kettle will be on.
