SUMMARY:Active Hope
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Following Joanna Macy’s ‘Work That Reconnects’ framework\, this week offers the opportunity to engage with three stories of our time: Business as Usual\, The Great Unraveling and the Great Turning. \nThroughout the week\, we will learn about and move along a “Spiral Journey”\, beginning with Gratitude\, followed by Honouring our Pain for the World\, Seeing Things with New Eyes and Going Forth with Renewed Energy. \nMoving through the Spiral is a practice that can be repeated whenever we feel frustrated or stuck in a world of ongoing and increasing suffering and injustice\, the climate crisis being our focal point. \nThe programme will give us a number of tools and practices that we can take into our own lives and use whenever there is a need for renewed hope. There will be guided meditations\, group exchanges\, and a variety of creative practices\, including an easy-to-learn dance. \nMost of the programme will take place indoors\, but we will also make use of the beautiful surroundings to help us to relate to our environment in a holistic way\, an integral part of the place and interwoven in the fabric of creation. \n  \nProgramme Leader \n  \nMonica Mueller-Roemer is a retired system analyst and project manager. These days\, she leads and organises Spiritual Retreats in the Anglican/Episcopal Church. She is a member of the Climate and Creation Care Ministry in the Episcopal Church in Europe and a Member of the Iona Community.

SUMMARY:Seabirds\, Sundew and the Spirit

In the course of this week we will be exploring different habitats and using our observational skills as we combine bird watching with plant hunting in search of the island’s fascinating wildlife. In our sessions we will be learning not just how to recognise the birds and plants but some of the stories behind them\, including their folklore. We will using all this as we explore a spirituality of the environment based on attentiveness and awareness and a reciprocal relationship with the earth\, how this is manifested in various cultures and how we can develop a contemporary approach that combines past tradition with present experience in order to help us confront the current environmental crisis. \n  \nProgramme Leader \n  \nBob Gilbert is an environmental writer and broadcaster\, his books include ‘The Green London Way\, ‘The Missing Musk‘ and ‘Ghost Trees’. His work for BBC Radio 4 includes ‘The Sussuration of Trees‘\, and ‘The Passion: a Pilgrimage in Plants’.
