Sangha Walk Sunday 1st March 10am Alder Carr Farm Needham Market IP6 8LX circular to Barking Church and back. The walk will be between 4 and 5 1/4 miles depending on the amount of rain between now and then and how much mud we will need to avoid - some will be inevitable so please wear boots or even wellies! I have managed to reserve tables at the Courtyard café for coffee and cake/snacks after the walk but they will need a reasonably accurate idea of numbers so if you are intending to come along can you please let me have a 👍 as soon as possible. We can leave our cars in the car park at Alder Carr Farm at our own risk and gather in the car park at 9.45am. 🙏 Any questions please let Andrew know!

🕊🐇🌿🌱🪺🕸 You are invited to a magical evening of poetry and puja in celebration of midsummer! The event will be on July 14th at Vajrasana 7-9pm, in the lounge first for tea & cake and then outside to the shrine room.

A short Celtic puja will provide the overarching framework, with 3 substantial sessions within it for our offerings of poetry and readings. Please bring whatever you would like to share on any aspect of our theme of Myth, Magic and Midsummer!

We will also be bringing representations of the natural world ( fruits, flowers, nuts, seed-heads etc) and small musical instruments too ( bells, drums, flutes etc) . All offerings will be placed in front of the shrine and should make a lovely midsummer scene.

Please let us know if you will be coming and what you will be bringing. To maximise the number of individual readings please note that each sharing should not exceed 4 minutes.

If you have queries - please ask! 🌾🦚🌻🌞🌟🌏
