    The Quiet Garden Movement

    The Quiet Garden Movement encourages the provision of a variety of local venues where there is an opportunity to set aside time to rest and to pray.

    These may be:

    in private homes and gardens
    which are open for occasional days of stillness and reflection. For those who visit, these become oases, places of withdrawal and meeting, of spiritual refreshment and support.

    in retreat centres or local churches
    which offer within their premises an area of beauty and peacefulness dedicated to quiet prayer and solitude.

    in inner city areas
    which seek to create places of stillness and beauty amidst the hustle and bustle of life, sometimes in apparently unpromising surroundings. These can become a focus for the local community.

    in prisons
    which can provide a tranquil, green space for both staff and prisoners

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

    A very appropriate emoticon:
    Keep walking. Just keep walking.

    This garden appeals to me! Can I post some pics of my flowers into the garden? How do I do it, if so?

    I think Stan knows some good posting methods. Let us wait for his advice.
