Hello everyone,

the first meeting of Warwickshire Spiritual Network took place last Thursday at Seventh Wave Wellbeing in Leamington Spa. Present were Hansje, Toby, Richard, Jacky, Roy, Laura, Dave, Sheilagh, and organisers Beth and Tiziana, and it was a creative and vibrant first meeting.

After introducing ourselves and our spiritual paths, we talked about what we envisage WSN to become, and what we would like to do in the framework of this new group. Apart from talks and demonstrations, it was suggested that we could discuss books that have inspired us, share our personal spiritual journeys and areas of interest, bring personal items for the communal altar and share their significance with others. We also hope to have guided meditation, singing bowling, and chanting as part of the meetings.

Interest was expressed in organizing outings, in particular in line with the Celtic festivals such as the Solstices and Equinoxes, for example to the Rollright Stones or other sacred places. In addition, there is a possibility of social 'tea & chat' evenings at the Victoria Coffee House, if there is sufficient interest.

Richard is organising a Health Fair at Bath Place Community Venture in Leamington Spa on Saturday 18th March, and we discussed the possibility of having stalls and offering taster treatments at this event. Full details of the fair and how to get involved will appear on this site shortly.

The next meeting will take place on Thursday 16th March at 8 pm, again at Seventh Wave Wellbeing. Guest speaker will be Margaret Godwin, who will talk about the spiritual aspects of her work as a psychotherapist, bodyworker and creative artist. Future speakers will include Sarida Brown on the spiritual & healing history of Leamington Spa, and Tiziana on Goddess spirituality, Paganism and spiritual work in prisons.
