Dear All, We hope you are well & enjoying these weeks of summer. Attention to the seasons of the year brings us to an awareness of the circle that is the pattern of our changing seasons. Our theme today is that of Circles. So much of our life experience is circular in movement – a…
Dear All, In our search for some reflections on journeying for last week, we found so many that we thought contained important truths. So we are sending you a few more this week, hoping you will find something helpful amongst them. The blessing this week is ‘Let the Peace’ from Sacred Weave. Let’s include all…
Dear All, The summer is a great time for journeys, a popular time for holidays. We have found some reflections that touch on this theme – physical journeys as well as journeys of the heart, strong in metaphor. Holidays give us time for reflection, whether it is ‘going away’ type of holidays or ones at…
Dear All, Despite it being June – a month that usually seems to be marked by happiness, contentment, joy – the struggles of life don’t disappear but because it is June perhaps they are overlooked. This week’s attachments include some reflections on self-care when disappointments, sadnesses inevitably come our way. All of these are by…

It is quite a mysterious happening & maybe there will be a word or phrase within one of the readings that helps you…
Dear All, Some more Easter reflections which I hope you will enjoy. The post- resurrection stories tell us so much about Jesus & about his disciples. Although ‘risen’ the Jesus we meet here is so very human – walking along a road & getting into conversation, meals, breakfast by the sea, and wonderfully forgiving &…
This Eastertide (2023), we held Reflections on the WAY OF LIGHT – Stations of the Resurrection paintings (by Sister Mary Stephen). Alongside a slideshow of the images, Sister Mary Stephen described each of her paintings, followed by readings of the Meditations by Sister Petra Boex OSB. We recorded Part 2 which you can listen to…
Dear All, Coronation Day! Let’s hope that it is a good day for celebrations! Our reflections today don’t directly focus on the significant aspects of this event. I think in the weeks leading up to today there has been a wealth of material on this theme via the media and anyway it isn’t an event…
