Hi Folks, The season of new beginnings is well underway in Ballarat.  This is a particularly beautiful spring.  The gardens and parks are ablaze with blossoms.  For nature, it is the season of love.  Birds are nesting in my trees, and possums have certainly got their mojos happening, going by the activities on my roof […]

A gorgeous day moves and breathes beyond my window.  It is such a delight to listen to the birds, rest my eyes on beautiful blossoms, and watch the shadows move as old sun glides across the cloudless sky.  I know a very hot summer with its threat of fires awaits us, but for now… let […]

As we wade our way through a troubled time on this waring planet of ours, I have also become aware that spirituality has taken an almost unnoticed turn away from the shallower forms of spiritual expression to a much needed grounded and solid form of exploration and practice.  Through the need to be removed from […]

I would like to share an insight I gained during meditation recently. But before I do, I need to share a vision I had when my previous husband, Jeff, died. That vision is related to the meditation insight I had been given. On the morning of January the 17th, 2002, Jeff and I walked to […]

Hi Folks, This past Monday our meditation group was blessed to have the gracious presence of Dr Andrew Dean, head of emergency St John of God Hospital, Ballarat – and much more.  Andrew found time in his heavy and busy schedule to speak to us about his book – Stopping The Noise – and lead […]

Hi Folks, I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and a delightful New Year celebration.  May the year ahead bring you many special moments and enrich you with many blessings. And what a year we have left behind, and what a year we have begun.  As the old Year of the Snake draws to […]

Ah, yes, the anticipation of all things yummy – family, friends. food, and fun. As Roald Dahl’s BFG would say – scrumpdiddlyumptious! But don’t forget to spend time in quiet meditation in gratitude for all that we have. Australia has her problems but, compared to many other countries, we are one of the most fortunate […]
