‘“Anna has remarkable knowledge of various spiritual practices and ability to introduce them in a simple way. Anna has a knowledge of diverse and helpful subjects…” James
“Anna provides a safe place to be honest and open about your deconstruction/place where you now find yourself on your faith journey. She refers to the mystics for wisdom and openly share aspects of her own journey and resources she has found helpful. She creates a warm and caring space to be open with others who find themselves in a similar place” Chris
Isabelle Roberts
Isabelle is Swiss by birth and upbringing and has lived in England most of her adult life. She studied Fine Art at the Bristol School of Art and now lives and works as an artist in Cornwall. Here is her website.
Isabelle and her husband Graham moved to Cornwall 12 years ago and slowly restored the ruin of an old little farmstead, called Tremayne. Isabelle loves to host groups of people around art, spirituality and mindfulness as well as retreats. She loves hospitality, cooking and meaningful conversations around a table of good, colourful but simple food.
She went a on a very lonely, terrifying and painful journey away from her evangelical/Calvinst upbringing. She moved from the need for certainty to embracing mystery and trusting experience and her instinct. She is now on a gentle and exciting journey of shifting and evolving faith.
