Autumn Rambles will be held in the Southern Hemisphere from 29 April 2023 to 12 May 2023

Join Caroline and Janice as they walk the streets, beaches, woods, and bush and collect their favourite autumn signs & sightings and share their memories of Autumn. Look in on the wisdom this season lends them in their journey of faith.

Use their ideas as a starting point for your own meanderings. Take a camera, a sketchbook, a journal or a basket for gathering as you ramble around your place.

Ease into Autumn. Enjoy slowing. Ramble with pleasure and gather your own collection of autumn impressions, images and sensations to guide you on your path.

Each day you'll receive a curated digital scrapbook page to inspire your ramble and set you off on your own autumn discoveries.
