Vicky Allen

I’m happiest when I’m out in the open letting the sky, the sea and the hills remind me that there is a Creator, or perhaps curled up by the fire with a beautiful book full of ancient wisdom and fresh ideas. I lead a 24-7 Prayer Community which gathers in the outdoors, practice as a spiritual director and retreat guide, with a sideline in art and poetry, and love bringing creativity into my own life and the wider life of our community. I’m also squeezing in study for a Masters in Christianity and the Visual Arts - which is a rich field of study! I am married to Brian and am the careful guardian of many unfortunate photographs of what we used to wear when we were students! We have two amazing children and one very cheeky and lovable beagle.
