SPIRITUAL LIFE

I meditate most mornings. I have found this enormously helpful since having a series of major operations for breast cancer in 2004. I go to Church (Christ Church, Edinburgh) where I am an active member of the Women Doing Theology and Roots to Roots groups and the choir.

I have taken three consecutive one year courses at the House of Prayer, Nile Grove, Edinburgh Growth of Prayer in Everyday Life (2001-2); Faith Accompaniment (2002-3); Training in Spiritual Direction (2003-4). I am qualified as a Spritual Director and meet with people as Spiritual Directees:

I attended a Buddhist retreat with Vietnamese Zen Master and poet Thich Nhat Hanh (St. Andrews, 2003)

I walked the seven day Lanark to Lindisfarne, Northern Cross Pilgrimage to Holy Island, in both 2002 and 2003.
