Thank you to those who joined us for our Transitions Retreat last week! We stretched our boundaries by trying new things such as black-out poetry and blind contour drawing, as well as sitting in the presence and quiet of a poem St Francis and The Sow by Galway Kinnell. Feel free to take a read and and spend 5 minutes reflecting on what it means to you if you were not able to join for the retreat. Here is a small taster:

"The bud

stands for all things,

even for those things that don’t flower,

for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;

though sometimes it is necessary

to reteach a thing its loveliness,

to put a hand on its brow

of the flower

and retell it in words and in touch

it is lovely

until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing..."

And to those of you new here, welcome! We see you showing up to your work everyday, we know you are fatigued and we hope this community can be a place of rest. You are welcome here.

Wishing you the best always,

Anu & Laura
