25th Anniversary Gathering
9th & 10th May 2025
Quaker Meeting House Edinburgh
We’re delighted to confirm that Margaret Silf and Padraig O’Tuama will be the speakers for the Epiphany Group 25th Anniversary Annual Gathering on our theme, Living the Story.
Margaret Silf (our guest in person), who is much loved as the author of books such as Landmarks and Wayfaring, will speak about how we explore the narratives which surface in the lives of those we accompany, working out where they are helpful and where they need to be transformed.
Padraig O’Tuama (speaking online), is an acclaimed poet, theologian and former director of the Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland, a centre for peace and reconciliation, will speak about the power of telling one’s own story, and how to recognise when the stories we tell ourselves begin to restrict us.
We will also reflect on the story (so far) of the EG, with additional elements facilitated by EG Members.
