Thursday 11th August 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 ‘Humility’.
‘Humility comes from the root word humus, which means earth, soil. The dictionary defines humus as dark organic material in soils, produced by decomposition, essential to the fertility of the earth… Humility is realizing in a visceral way that we are not separate from anything else. It allows us to sink down into the rich soil, all the way to the bottom.’ — Tim Burkett
