Here are the dates for the next quarter of London Grove events. If you want them to happen, please volunteer to organise one of them. It’s not as scary as it sounds: you don’t have to do it on your own.
30/10/05: Samhain (Mark organising)
27/11/05: Ancestors (Lorraine and Hilde organising)
18/12/05: Winter Solstice (volunteers needed)
8/1/06: seedgroup (Francesca organising)
So far, nobody has volunteered for the Winter Solstice ceremony. There is still time to do so. If no-one comes forward, we will have no celebration for Alban Arthan.
Alex, being his usual sensible self, has suggested that we should make more of the articles on our site public, for everyone to see. Because as it is at the moment, and random surfer happening upon us will get the impression we’re a theoretical and mostly inactive group. Which can’t be good for attracting new members.
Do you agree with this and if so, what articles do you think could be public?
I think the upcoming events should definitely be private, but I don’t see why reports on things that have already happened should be. And some of our conversations could be interesting to the public as well.
What do you think?
We are venturing into the centre of London for our Autumn Equinox ceremony.
Meet by the London Eye at 3 pm on Sunday, 18 September (this is the Sunday BEFORE the Equinox!) We will then walk several minutes to our ceremony site. We will meet by the right hand leg of the London Eye, as you look towards the Thames. That’s the one furthest away from the London Council building.
In case anyone is in doubt: here is a map of the area. Nearest tube is Waterloo.
Please call Hilde on 07768 377 646 or Anna on 0791 310 7994 a few days ahead if you want to come along, or in case you can’t find us on the day.
Thank you, Lorraine, for sending this photo. And thank you to Francesca and Daniel for organising this beautiful meeting. That yew tree is a really impressive being, making the place where it stands sacred.
Somebody said that the photo was going to look like a bunch of really good children on a school outing, but I think it shows the calming and grounding effect the tree had on us all. Our little gathering and meditation will now be part of its very long memory.
Here are few of my pictures. My camera isn’t very good in anything other than bright light, though. And, sadly, Daniel is asleep on this one.
And a couple of atmospheric ones:
