Saturday, 17 September 2011, 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm, University of Winchester, West Downs Campus, Romsey Road, Winchester, SO22 5HT

In Association with the Research Centre for the Arts as Wellbeing

Come and join Chris Clarke, June Boyce-Tillman and Megan Clay on the feast day of St. Sophia for a celebration of creative Wisdom, with well-loved circle dances needing no previous experience, and some newer dances, interspersed with readings and songs for all to join in.

Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand. “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, at the very beginning, when the world came to be”. (Bible: Proverbs 8)

Chris Clarke has been circle dancing since 1988 and now leads the Wickham circle dance group. Formerly a Professor researching in Cosmology at the University of Southampton, his current passion is for bringing together science and spirituality. See www.scispirit.com for recent books and activities.
June Boyce-Tillman is Professor of Applied Music at the university of Winchester, a prolific composer and author with a passion for community involvement in music. See music information.
Megan Clay is an artist and PhD student studying feminist theology and creative practice, making images about the feminine way of knowing born from personal experience and journeying.
