These are unprecedented times. Our world appears to be in turmoil. Necessary changes are needed and happening. We are challenged in many ways. Although these challenges are happening on many different levels; politically, societal, inter relational, environmental, they are all, in one form or another, connected and require our response. 2020 has been an ever changing and challenging year, in which we have learned to adapt, pivot, change and shift our perspective of life. Ever hopeful of new beginnings, a “new normal” as we reflect and move forward into 2021.
Meet us at the river! Jump in the boat! Start the engine; or help us paddle. Come - swim alongside the canoes. Cast the line - feed the hungry. Submerged - are you washed free of sin; or travelling the path to enlightenment? Do you shiver thinking of Hamlet’s Ophelia; her “mermaid-like” clothes pulling her down to cold “muddy death”? Will you exchange ideas and trade product with others? Are you floating and enjoying the gentle rocking of the warm waves; allowing your mind to wonder? River is wild and free; it may nurture or drown. Click here to view a promotional video.
