An Interspiritual Path for Contemplatives of the Heart; an emergent Compassionate Community

These quarterly gatherings are for everyone! Come and make heartfelt connections, practise together with others of different spiritual traditions, listen to what is alive for us as a group, and seed an emerging compassionate contemplative community…!

A series of retreat days during seasonal threshold moments of the year with the intention of co-creating contemplative community at the level of heart.

The days are open to everyone, including those touched in some way by death through work or in their personal lives.

Booking deadline: September 22

This is an occasional online space for all who offer end of life care. It is for everyone: those who work in health professional and therapeutic contexts and those who care for loved ones at home.

We come together to co-create a circle of compassion within which we can share our experience and wisdom, connect with our heart’s intentions, and nourish our deepest being.

A series of bi- monthly virtual gatherings with the intention of co-creating contemplative community at the level of heart.

The Body Divine in Christian Orthodox Iconography

Date: November 2 2024

Time: 10.00-11.30 U.K. time / 11.00-12.30 European time

In  Orthodox icon painting there is a whole two thousand year tradition of exploring  how to - not so much depict, because this is not possible - but to point, through painting, to the Body Divine: the divinised body. The ultimate icon of the divinised human body is, of course the Transfiguration. I hope to share with you some of the techniques through which the paradox of God and man is portrayed in the technique of the icon. So, I am going to ask you to follow through with me, how an icon painter would do this - both in prayer and technique.

Interspiritual Liturgies of the Heart

‘…and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.’ ( T.S.Elliot, Four Quartets)

Four online evenings leading up to Christmas

November 28; December 5,12 and 19

6.30 – 7.45 U.K.; 7.30 – 8.45 CET

Advent is a liminal time. We can pass through many different experiences, including longing, weariness and anticipatory joy. We cannot know what may emerge in us as we connect on different levels with the ancient story of Jesus’ birth during this particular advent; but we can surrender to the mystery, and wait and see.

It is possible that the early Church used this period as a preparation for Baptism, like Easter. So the initiatory aspect of advent (from adventus, the coming) is a traditional one.

In these four evenings we will have the opportunity to explore what advent means or could mean to us, through an unfolding sequence of meditations, readings and listening circles as we deepen into our personal and shared journeying.
