GREETINGS

Our Butterfly Series meeting on 1 April canvassed the lessons that can be learned from pilgrims and mystics. An enthusiastic group discussed their personal experiences and insights from various books and podcasts. Some of the key discussion points were:

  • The value of Camino experiences, including silent reflection and in-depth conversations with strangers

  • The role of pilgrimage in a faith journey

  • The importance of mentors in adding wisdom and variety to personal reflection

  • The significance of exploring other faith traditions in enriching one’s own

  • The characterisation of God as unity

The conversation ended with a discussion on spiritual growth and consciousness, encouraging participants to reflect on their experiences and consider new perspectives.


Our previous meeting in March prompted at least two members of our community to read Garry Deverell’s book “Gondwana Theology”. Subsequently, John Scoble wrote a reflection on his presentation and the implications for Australia moving forward. Here is John's reflection

Dual consciousness is a mindset adopted by people that delineates concepts, characteristics or matters of debate in two opposing positions. For example, black or white, liberal or conservative. The spiritual journey is enhanced by using non-dual consciousness. This meeting will explore its meaning and application.
