Thursday 7th April 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 ‘Grief.’
‘Grief is like the wind. When it’s blowing hard, you adjust your sails and run before it. If it blows too hard, you stay in the harbour, close the hatches and don’t take calls. When it’s gentle, you go sailing, have a picnic, take a swim.’ — Barbara Lazear Ascher
