Roger Tempest and Paris Ackrill, who are shortly to be married, have spent eleven years creating a truly transformative retreat centre at Broughton Sanctuary. Previously Broughton Hall, the stately with no less than 56 chimneys was home to the Roger’s recusant Catholic family for a thousand years. But now it's time for change, say the couple, who describe a rising of ‘an unarticulated movement’. Changing its name to Broughton Sanctuary, they have regenerated 3000 acres, created Avalon, a state-of the art wellbeing centre and “as without, so within” are now hosting formative visionaries including Dr Zach Bush, Bruce Damer and Lawrence Bloom, Chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Urban Management. On this episode of Hope Springs we discuss the need for a spiritual Davos and the reasons why Broughton Sanctuary is described as “the birthing place of a new humanity” by Andrew Harvey, founder of Sacred Activism.
