Su Riddell

Su Riddell is an Outreach Worker for Initiatives of Change, based in Oxford, UK, amongst other things running small groups to deepen the practice of the Quiet Time. She uses Presence in Action daily to clarify and illuminate her own Quiet time practice, and offers one-to-one sessions with people to support them in finding their own clarity and integrity. Su, who has been involved with IofC for 40 years, likens the REAL Change experience to that of a picture restorer, removing years of deposits from the surface of an Old Master so the original emerges fresh and bright.
