Song of the Seasons: An Evening in London with Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee

Doors open at 6:30pm. The event begins at 7:00pm.

The song of the seasons is always beckoning us to listen. Spring unfolds into summer, into autumn, into winter with every circumambulation around the sun, forming a cycle through which the Earth creates Herself anew. Can we remember how to be with and respond to this song that is present throughout all of creation?

Sufi teacher and Emergence Magazine executive editor and founder Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee returns to St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London at the height of spring for a special evening lecture drawing from his new book, Song of the Seasons: A Meditation on Cycles, Story, and Humility (Emergence Press, April 2026). Rooted in the understanding that the seasons mirror the sacred nature of existence, the book sits within Emergence Magazine’s broader exploration of the changing nature of the seasons. Emmanuel will speak about the book’s themes of cyclicality, attention, attitude, storytelling, and reuniting spirit with matter, and explore how simple acts of noticing, with devotion, humility, and reverence, to the Earth’s seasonal cycles can help us navigate this moment of ecological upheaval with love.
