The garden birds are busy preparing at this important time of year, and the birds of prey are going through the same motions and stresses also. The Eurasian Sparrowhawk may be one of the smallest birds of prey, but it is mighty in its own way. After a decline in numbers several decades ago, they are now quite abundant around the UK.
From March through to June, you can witness their stunning aerial “skydancing” displays, part of their dramatic mating ritual. The female takes charge of nurturing the eggs once laid, while the male goes on the hunt, using that remarkable stealth to provide the extra food needed. One swoop with a sudden shower of feathers often signals a sparrowhawk nearby.
Interestingly, the females are quite a bit larger than the males, which is unusual. Symbolically, they represent extreme focus and awareness, reminding us to pay attention. They are also linked to new beginnings and, in some traditions, are thought to be spiritual messengers.
We were fortunate to have one of our own spiritual messengers last night, as our dear friend Lesley Knight came to visit. What a beautiful evening it was. Lesley shared beautiful thoughts and gave wonderful evidence of continuing life, along with such lovely messages. Thank you so much.
Our own Sarah Dorgan chaired our gathering beautifully, and we are grateful to our family for the beautiful prayers and readings. Thank you to Julie for the music, Sue for her hospitality, and to Carole for another divine cake creation.
Thank you to our healers, always ready to help afterwards, and to all the wonderful healing trainees. And thank you to everyone who helped set up, break down down, and take care of the washing up.
Prayer of the Week
Please, let us pray for peace everywhere. May leaders find peace within themselves and become more aware of the consequences of their actions.
Calendar to follow.
Have a beautiful week!
We gathered yesterday evening on Zoom, after a glorious, beautiful day full of the joys of spring. We love to see each other mid-week and share the lovely prayers, readings, and music. The healing followed. Thank you, everyone!
Please continue to pray for compassion in this world, and the hope that we can all look at each other with kinder eyes.
Lesley Knight is with us on Sunday, in Chawton!

The Bluebells are out! They arrived a little earlier this year, popping up all over my garden in places where they had not been planted by human hands! Bluebells are also a sign of ancient woodland, and these special woodlands will soon start to come alive with their beautiful carpet of colour.
They are a protected flower, and it is illegal to pick them in the wild. They have a very sweet scent, and are a beautiful bluey- mauve colour. Their pollen is very creamy, and the pollinators love them. The bumble bees will appreciate them as they start to forage, I am sure, as well as the butterflies.
Their Spanish cousin is not nearly as alluring, with a much fainter scent, and is more invasive by nature, and so a threat to our native bluebell. Both the Spanish cousin and our British bluebell are poisonous to pets and people.
Their symbolism is a flower of the fairies, and they spiritually are symbols of gratitude, humility, and everlasting love, all perfect for the Easter Message we celebrated this past weekend.
We had a lovely evening with the family on Sunday. Our own lovely Chris Shore chaired the gathering as Rob Harvey shared thoughts and offered clairvoyance. We had beautiful prayers and readings also. Thank you.
Thank you to our music team, our hospitality, and all those who stand by to heal. Special thanks always to those who set up, break down, and wash up.
Calendar up later.
Enjoy the sunshine and the beauty of the natural world.

We gathered again last night on Zoom. We are so glad for the lighter evenings, but it is still quite chilly in these parts. We enjoyed a lovely evening as usual, with beautiful readings, prayers, and music. Healing followed. Thank you, everyone.
Please continue to pray for those affected by the meningitis outbreak.
It is our beautiful Easter gathering on Sunday, in Chawton.
