Community Reflection

I looked for myself

I looked for myself, but myself was gone.

The boundaries of my being had disappeared in the sea.

Waves broke. Awareness arose again.

And a voice returned me to myself.

It always happens like this.

Sea turns on itself and foams, and with every foaming bit another body, another being takes form.

And when the sea sends word, each foaming body melts back to ocean-breath.

(Rumi)

Blessings from Lindsay, Nicola, Danielle and Tim
Joining with Convocation from afar
spiritual foundation

We invite you to join and connect with our entire community of ministers and students on Sunday 1 May from 9.00 to 9.30 in the morning. This is Beltane and an auspicious date for many. Those attending Convocation at Findhorn will be gathered in meditation in the Universal Hall at this time - and you are invited to sit and connect across our global community from wherever you happen to be at that time.

Other news ...
ocean Following on from last week's announcements, Rev Andrew Hunter sends us news of his weekly radio show on TD1Radio in the Scottish Borders featuring the work of local people serving the community.  Anyone else have details to add to our Media page?

Also reaching out is Rev Janette Blakemore who has just published the next edition of her Seeds of Wisdom inspirational newsletter.

And a reminder to everyone about the spring issue of Gracevine which is available to download
