Sagittarius

Sagittarius 2020 River Thames London Wheel of Life Pilgrimage

Gatekeeper Wheel of Life events

Throughout the year in Britain we celebrate and connect the invisible forces of the earth and universe with our own inner light. We activate the Wheel of Life, celebrating in each of the 12 zodiacal areas in pilgrimage and expressive arts as community events. Capricorn starts the year in the Winchester area, and Sagittarius ends with a Thames River pilgrimage in London.

We meet at St Martin-in-the-Fields Cafe in the Crypt, if open, otherwise in the glass entrance to the Crypt.
Your Pilgrimage Leaders, Phyllis SantaMaria and Roberta Ardern, begin with a briefing and a reflection.
