Dear Friends
Welcome to Autumn! The equinoctial gales are arriving with us, sweeping away the last vestiges of that glorious summer, and heralding an opportunity to let go of all that needs to pass on its way as the seasons move on. This is a brief update on various happenings within the Wrekin circle and news of some collaborative events which are coming up.
Firstly, we are bidding farewell to the office at Courtyard Lodge, with much gratitude to Janice and her family for putting up with us for so long! The space which we occupied is needed for use by the Dolley family, and Wrekin's new office at The Fold, Bransford, is now our administrative base. Those of us engaged in supporting the work of Wrekin will of course continue to work from home but maintain close contact with the office at all times. We have a small team of volunteers who are devising a rota to staff the office, and contact details are: Wrekin Trust, The Fold, Bransford, Worcestershire, WR6 5JB, office@wrekintrust.org, 01886 833443.
Secondly, for information on some of the events planned by Wrekin associates, please visit the Events page on the Wrekin Forum website, www.wrekinforum.org. In addition, here are details of some Wrekin events which are coming up within the next few weeks. We should love to see you there.
With love and blessings for all our new beginnings

"The future that our hearts tell us is possible -
the future that is not a mere continuation of the past -
comes from heeding our own soul's calling and
how that calling responds to the call of life.
A living and active relationship with that call brings
each of us to live our own unique expression as
our best and only possible authentic contribution to
the whole of which we are an inalienable part."
