We met on the 13th July, to … draw.
About 12 adults and 4 under 10’s gathered on a cold but sunny Cape morning. Each person was given an A1 sheet (that’s 8 A4’s) and some charcoal sticks. Theresa, facilitating and DJing, played several varied pieces of music, ranging from The William Tell overture to Dead Can Dance. We were asked to respond by “taking the charcoal for a walk”. Various screeches and shrieks ensued, (as well as many a black hand), as everyone threw themselves into the liturgy. Continue reading us and them. and charcoal….

Southern Yule: A winter consolation
June 30, 2008 at 3:51 pm | In community, emergent spirituality, meditation | 3 Comments
We met on Sun 29th June for a winter meditation and feast, the meditation curated by Mike and the feast by an assortment of chefs.
Brrr. It was cold, very fitting. Initially we were asked to tell of our personal winters, or perhaps, just one of them.
Most people could identify and name the deepest winters, the darkest nights of the soul, that they had endured. These ranged from existential crises – near suicide, doubt and despair; to career change and business failure; to sheer meaninglessness and dwarstrekking (aimless wondering).

A question of experience – A personal Godde
June 12, 2008 at 3:57 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
At our gathering, on Sunday 1 June, we had an intimate look at each other’s personal experience of Godde. Tim lead the morning and had four questions/points which we examined and used as a process leading into prayer.
The first question was: When did you first become aware of Godde and what was your first distinct experience of Godde? The group was small and we were able to each take a turn in answering the question. The second question was dealt with in the same manner, we were asked to express our present relationship with Godde. Continue reading A question of experience – A personal Godde…
A Play of Light: A theodrama of faith and photons
May 28, 2008 at 3:53 pm | In cape town, emergent spirituality, worship | 1 Comment
We’ve been playing with light – a complex subject, but that’s all the more reason to have fun with it. And in fact, our initial section on Saturday evening (after an introduction from Andrew) dealt with the complexity of light from a physicist’s perspective. Christina gave us a fascinating display of some of the cooler toys involving light – including a light mill (or radiometer if you prefer), and an intriguing application of a laser pointer… Continue reading A Play of Light: A theodrama of faith and photons…
“Walk with me to Golgotha …” Gathering in remembrance of Jesus’
May 6, 2008 at 1:21 pm | In Uncategorized | 3 CommentsTags: Glgotha, Jesus, meditation, Taize
On Sunday the 4th of May we met at Nick and Anne’s house for a change. In contrast to the usual coffee, muffins and boisterous chats, singing or drumming before the start of the session we picked up candles to light at the altar and sat in quiet contemplation on the carpet.
