And just like that, the Oak tree is full of leaves, offering his beautiful green lushness to the woodlands. We take him for granted in Britain. Strong and steady, he is home to so many creatures and life.

There are six species worldwide, but only two are native to Britain. The English Oak and the Sessile. From the bare branches of winter and then the budding in spring of leaves and tiny green flowers, and now marching into the summer when we will see his fullness along with acorns. that will drop during autumn, and then to the winter, seeing him completely dormant, saving his goodness for the coming spring.

He is sometimes ancient and can be identified with his craggy trunks, branches, and hollowness, having lived through many seasons. Some of his kind have grown very large indeed and are called King Oaks, having been around for at least four hundred years, and some for as much as eight hundred years. No wonder his symbolism is that of strength, wisdom, and connection, and folklore is littered with stories, songs, and odes to The Beautiful Oak

We had plenty of connection with Spirit last night in Chawton, with Gillian Blaize coming to visit. Gillian’s humour and inspired address gave much pause, and the messages were lovely. Thank you so much, Gillian! What a fabulous night. Chaired by the lovely Nerina, we also enjoyed beautiful readings and prayers from the family.

Thank you, Sue, for the hospitality, and Julie for our music. Thank you to our healers, always on hand, and all those who set up, break down, and wash up!

Prayer of the week

May we keep all the healthcare workers in our prayers and thoughts. They do so much, sometimes at very difficult times, working schedules that affect their own lives. May we send prayers their way.

Calendar up next.

Bear with the showers. A little bird tells me we are going to have a beautiful summer!

Our lovely little community gathered again last night on zoom, enjoying the readings, prayers and beautiful music that fill us to the brim. Healing followed. Thank you Everyone!!

Please continue to pray for the citizens of this world to stand up and be counted.

Gillian Blaize with us Sunday in Chawton.

Join us!!

For those who are early risers, this bright morning star is well visible in the pre-dawn sky right now, especially if the promise of a new day is also cloudless, for at about 3.30am, this bright ‘star’, also known as Venus, appears in the heavens At this time, she is the widest distance from the sun, which takes her out of the immediate glare. She has famously given her name to the Goddess of Love in Greek mythology, and has inspired much creativity and poetry from the ancients and from those in current times. She is also known as The Evening Star, seen after sunset, completing our earthly day, Spiritually reminding us of divine love and harmony. And of course, most importantly-Jesus is referred to as The Bright Morning Star that appears before dawn and heralds in The Light.

I think it is fair to say that the harmony and gentleness of our beautiful Healing Service last night in Chawton was felt by all. We enjoyed beautiful prayers, readings, and then thoughts shared by Rob. Healing followed during the service. We had a little extra time to chat and eat some of the lovely offerings from Carole afterwards. Thank you to our readers, healers, music team, Carole, and Nerina, and for the setup and break-down of the evening.

Prayer of the week

Please pray that the so-called ordinary people can rise up against the inequities of this world and reclaim their rights to live in peace without the greed and violence that invades their lives.

Calendar up shortly.

Welcome, wonderful June!!
