May Monday Night Meditation
Dear friends, it was lovely to see so many of you tonight. We sat for about 30 mins. I am curious to know how it was for you. Questions are welcome. As I said I will be away next week so we are canceling the meditation on Monday May14th. We will resume the following week. There will be no meditation on Memorial Day. Warmly, Alison

Spirit Singing
Dear Friends, we held our third evening of spirit singing with Kath and Lori. Our circle is getting larger and the group is finding its voice!
I am so surprised how my voice now wants "to go places and sing into places" and my "job" is to simply allow, sense and listen and let go. Letting spirit sing is a kind of surrender. In our first session my throat tightened and the superego jumped in everywhere. Phew it was tough, challenging and vulnerable. But after the three times I am sensing a trust and confidence that it is OK to let go and see what happens.
Sometimes it felt like a kind of group prayer as we moved from chanting into the silence and back into chanting.
I am curious how this was for you.
