[Ruskin To-Day ('There is no wealth but life') @RuskinToday]

On Ruskin's birthday, a reminder that there are resources on the Guild website & elsewhere, where you can listen to his writings being read aloud, or Ruskin being talked about. We are currently 1 session into our 5 readings from UNTO THIS LAST; more here: https://t.co/szdtfV72Ga

[the Hall Bewdley @BewdleyHall]

Next Thur 15 Feb, we are showing 'Wonka' (PG). 'Heartwarming prequel to the 1971 classic stars Timothée Chalamet as an innocent who dreams of opening a magical chocolate factory in a city that violently rejects his new ideas. Hugh Grant & Olivia Colman play key roles.'

Next Thursday's 'Cinema in the Hall' on 16th Nov is Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (12). Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt who must track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity ...

Kevin Jackson was an enthusiastic Companion of the Guild, a wonderful, accessible writer on Ruskin, and a huge loss to all who knew and loved him when he died last year. This is a wonderful initiative in his memory, worthy of support.

[Dr Suzanne Fagence Cooper is on Bluesky @suzannefagence]

Wonderful afternoon with our new ecotherapy group @StNicksFields - thanks to @RuskinToday for supporting our project.
We drew leaves, studied a nest, wrote mini poems, planted seeds & talked about Ruskin's way of looking at the natural world. A robin sampled the custard creams.

[Dr Suzanne Fagence Cooper is on Bluesky @suzannefagence]

I am so looking forward to this course, starting on Thursday in York. Funded by @RuskinToday. If you know anyone locally who could benefit from ecotherapy in the wonderful green spaces @StNicksFields, please spread the word
