GREETINGS

Our discussion paper for our February meeting on Gratitude and Spiritual Trust was very well received with several remarking on the depth of its content. A valuable and wide-ranging conversation followed, particularly in stimulating an awareness of how easy it can be to be grateful, to establish a habit of gratefulness. Alternatively, an awareness of the enemies of gratitude, such as anger or self-absorption, helps us realise how easy it is to not be grateful.


A common theme amongst various spiritual traditions is living in the present moment. An attitude of gratitude stimulates this consciousness which leads to our own fulfillment as individuals.

JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT BUTTERFLY SERIES EVENT


Our guest speaker, Rev’d Canon Dr Garry Worete Deverell,  is a trawloolway man from northern lutruwita/Tasmania, a priest of the Anglican diocese of Melbourne, and the author of two books on indigenous spirituality. He was Academic Dean in the School of Indigenous Studies at the University of Divinity between 2020 and 2024.


He will speak to his discussion paper and answer questions at our next meeting. Consequently, we have provided for a slightly longer meeting.

EXPLORING SPIRITUALITY

SPIRITUAL RESOURCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Welcome to the St Lucia Spirituality Resources - your refuge for wisdom, wonder, and growth. Here you’ll find reflections, reviews, teachings, podcasts, videos, and tools that help you explore what it means to live a mindful, connected life. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or you’ve walked the path for years, you’ll discover something here to stir your heart, challenge your assumptions, and enrich your soul.

 

Why trust us for your spiritual nourishment? Because we believe that spirituality is not “extra” - it is essential. It shapes how we see ourselves, others, and the invisible threads that bind all of us together. We sift through ancient traditions and modern insights so you don’t have to wander alone. We include authors and voices who question and journey, not those who pretend to have all the answers.


Here’s what you’ll find inside:

  • Thought-provoking articles and book reviews that illuminate hidden springs of meaning.

  • Video and podcast picks that provoke curiosity.

  • Guides, practices, and spiritual tools for reflection, self-growth, and compassion.

  • A community of seekers sharing stories, doubts, and breakthroughs.
     

If you’ve ever wondered “What spiritual path fits me?” or “How do I bring more peace, purpose, or connection into my everyday life?” then this blog is for you. Let’s explore, question, and awaken together.
