SACRED PRESENCE: In the natural surroundings of Drumalis this retreat day offers contemplative and mindfulness practices to help us to become ever more present in our lives. When we are tempted to ‘get busy’ or to ‘get fixing’ these practices help us to find stillness, courage, acceptance, forgiveness, compassion and healing just as we are and just as life is right now.

OUT BEYOND OUR COMFORT ZONES - THAT'S WHERE THE MIRACLES HAPPEN

by Maria Garvey

On Thursday 2nd of March 2017 a group of 19 of us - some us friends and others strangers to one another took off to Marrakesh in Morocco and from there to Merzouga 9 hours drive south into the heart of the desert to camp for 3 days. Our aim... to feel the fear and do it anyway!!!

I know impatience well - it makes me hard on myself. It probably makes me hard on others although that isn't always so obvious. The antidote to impatience, I've learned, is WAITING AND WATCHING.

Many of us we have grown up in a world of plenty. We risk living under the illusion that we can have what we want when we want it. This illusion may be one of the root causes of addictions that hurt us, our relationships, our work, our lives.

When we think about addictions it's easy to think about dugs and alcohol but some of the more hidden ones, such as work, shopping, television, social media ... may be just as damaging.
