Drawing on Buddhist contemplative supervision models, Anne will offer a series of online sessions to support those working one-to-one with clients in psychotherapy/the psychological therapies. Her emphasis is to create a context in which the therapeutic relationship can be re-visioned within a co-created field of heart.

The sessions will include small group work in break-out rooms and collective reflection on clinical themes.

All accredited/qualified practitioners are welcome!

It is recommended to come to the first session if you are interested in going forward.

This day has been cancelled.

These are opportunities to come together to share silence, open the ‘ears’ of our hearts and rest in being. Sometimes a deepening sense of presence and connectedness can arise within our experience as we sit, immersing ourselves in the living, wild beauty of Dartmoor.

Each day will have a simple rhythm of silent sitting;  Kum Nye (Tibetan yoga); walking meditation, outside if possible; and practices of the heart.

Everyone is welcome!

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…!

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.

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.

End of Life Choices: What do I want?

Facilitated by Sarah Parker and Anne Overzee

A series of 3 End of Life Planning workshops in Bovey Tracey. The first one is an introduction to the topic, and will be followed by a deeper look at the choices available for end of life in sessions 2 and 3. We will cover topics such a lasting power of attorney,  personal wishes for end of life and funeral choices.

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.

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.
