Thursday 2nd June 7 – 8.15 pm: Heart and Soul on Zoom
Heart and Soul is a contemplative spiritual gathering in which you can take time to reflect on life in the company of others. Each session follows a regular pattern, including readings and music, time for guided prayers of gratitude, compassion for others, self-reflection, and silent meditation. Led by Laura Dobson. All welcome.
This week’s theme is ‘Telling Stories.’
‘Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don’t do that so much anymore. It is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering.’ — Rachel Naomi Remen
