Warm greetings from Traigh Bhan as we move into the quieter, more contemplative days of autumn and winter.
Over the past weeks, the house has been prepared for the colder, wetter months ahead, welcoming volunteers and retreat guests who are drawn to a time of stillness, reflection, and inner work.
Between retreats, we will be continuing improvements to the house. Work is beginning on refurbishing the sun porch, replacing aging woodwork and bringing new life to this much-loved room that gathers the warmth of the sun. Weather permitting, two more windows will also be installed, made possible through the generosity of several donors.
Alongside these improvements, we look forward to sharing details of 2027 retreat programmes in our next newsletter.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Michaelmas Zoom gathering on September 29. It was a wonderful beginning to building our online community and deepening our connections with one another. We look forward to another gathering in November, with the hope of establishing a regular monthly rhythm.
Celtic Wisdom with John Philip Newell
We also wish to draw your attention to a nine-part online series being offered through the Findhorn Community. Based on his award-winning book Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul, our friend and colleague John Philip draws upon centuries of Celtic teachers and visionaries whose understanding of the sacredness of Earth and the human soul offers much-needed guidance for our times.
