Sharing

This has been a day full of shared experience, from walking meditation on the beach at 7.30 to a cultural evening of poems, songs, dance, henna and the art of sari wearing. In between we had discussions about our differences and what we share in common, about the role of women in faith and personal stories about bereavement and loss. We walked along the west coast of the island to see St Molaise’s cave ,, the healing spring and the Buddhist rock paintings. Some of us then climbed up the hill (see extra) to see a wonderful view over to the hills of Arran.

Somehow we fitted in time to have three wonderful meals - lunch featured lasagne and this amazingly colourful salad of leaves and flowers grown in the garden.

Body and soul have both been nourished and I shall soon be asleep - we leave here early in the morning to go our separate ways.
