Lucy Barnes

Lucy Barnes Fawcett is a dance artist and yoga teacher in the WCCM community, teaching a regular class at the Meditatio Centre London. She trained to dance in the Martha Graham technique at The Place, where she also learnt Tai Chi, and continues to work in performance, and education. Her yoga training was in Vanda Scaravelli- influenced Hatha Yoga at London Yoga Teacher Training Group. Not unlike dance, awareness of “grounding, breathing and releasing” are integral to the Scaravelli approach to yoga. Lucy was first introduced to the teachings of John Main and Laurence Freeman in the early 1990’s by her yoga teacher, Catherine James. Lucy has been teaching yoga and leading groups since 2006.

A pilgrimage is a spiritual practice, involving a journey with intention to a sacred place, fostering a deep connection with the surroundings and  with oneself.” – Rupert Sheldrake

Following in the footsteps of Rupert Sheldrake, who led our city pilgrimage in 2023 we are delighted to offer this venture again; visiting churches of beauty and rich history on an afternoon walk through the City.

Starting from The Meditatio Centre, we will meet to meditate, have a short talk and lunch ( please bring your own lunch ) and depart, walking from our door.

The pilgrimage will take in 5 churches, with time to meditate , and look around each one.

Our route includes among others: St. Bartholomew the Great, St.Etheldreda’s Ely Place, and St Paul’s Cathedral where we will conclude in time for Choral Evensong.

There will be approx. 1 ½ hours walking time together. If you cannot join the full route for mobility reasons you are welcome to start with us and then meet at St Paul’s to have tea and finish together.

More information about the timings of the day, and the churches we will visit will be available beforehand, but if you have any questions please contact Lucy:  lucybarnesyoga@icloud.com

Please book ahead- there are maximum 25 places available for this event.
