Pilgrims on a Journey (with Michael Morwood)
The roads we travel never look the same. Trees grow taller, buildings appear that were not the before; buildings that were always there disappear. Our physical journeys are ever changing as well – hair changes colour, bodies get larger or shorter or wider, they break down and inevitably die. Our faith journey often follows a similar pattern of growth, of health, of disintegration and, perhaps, death. The Atlantic Seminar in Theological Education was born in the summer…

A chance to create and re-create ourselves using the beautiful landscape around us for our inspiration.

Divining the Body
Your body is a satellite dish for Mind-at-Large. You are a receptor for pure intelligence and information pours into you through every sense with every experience. Whether you tune into this or not is up to you. Emily Dickinson did and she left behind a cache of 1800 poems. What might be possible for you if you learned how to translate your body’s language into prose, poetry, story?
