From 1 – 7 January each year, a global event takes place called 7 Days of Rest. This year, under the theme of Sacred Renewal, we spoke to seven of our members and friends of interfaith, and asked them to share with us their secrets to sacred renewal, intention setting and deepening understanding of what this time of year symbolises.
