We went to Gembrook Retreat to join others on a 'meditative and contemplative' walk to four places on the ground. Our first station was Maggie's Garden where we focused on Gratitude. The picture above shows that part of the property. Our second station was the Quaker peace garden where we honoured our pain in what ever form that took. At our third station, the Indigenous garden, we were invited to see with new/ancient eyes. At the last station, around the fire, we contemplated going forth into 2021 and beyond. These stations originated from the book "Active Hope" by Joanna Macy, with a focus on how to offer our gift of active hope into a troubled and broken world. In going forth, we take steps to be actively involved in the 'Great Turning'. What's our first step? What is our intent?
