This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
The creation of a sacred space
Posted 20/09/09 by Matt B in the Questions category
Sacred space - how vital is it?This past week I have been looking at the need for a sacred space at the heart of a community. I journeyed to Chelmsford Hundred where the local Sure Start Children's Centre has been built with a church transparently at the centre. I got to stay in the Vicarage with the vicar and his wife who both have a strong interest in conservation and ethical trade.
There I began to learn about the need to set aside a dedicated spiritual space for reflection, worship and prayer. This is, as Rev Gowing-Cumber points out (see the videos in the link) an often over looked need that sits at the very heart of a community.
What are your thoughts and feelings on this subject?
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
