Circle Dance – by Stephen Fearnley
O People, learn to dance, or else the angels in heaven won’t know, what to do with you Attributed to St.Augustine We have all heard of christmas carols but did you know the carol was also a dance from the middle ages ?

Cravings, Compulsions and Body Consciousness – Pre-Session
This episode was originally broadcast Nov 25, 2016 In this pre-session chat we delve into the murky depths of food cravings and talk about the difference between a craving and a compulsion – and how attitudes toward the body and unrecognized emotional needs can trigger both! A timely topic for any time of year but perhaps especially so for our friends in the USA who are facing their food issues on Thanksgiving, a day that is often all about stuffing…ourselves. About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing. It was a fun way to get everyone settled and prepared for the journey to come, as well as a way to connect with us energetically.
