Twelve-year-old Christ in the Temple, Martin Schongauer, c. 1480

Coming up in July, a chance to practice sacred reading together daily - or to dip in at one or another time that works for you.

The full schedule will be announced soon. If you have particular wishes for dates and times, let me know by messaging me.

In your light I learn how to love.

In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest

where no-one sees you,

but sometimes I do,

and that sight becomes this art.

Drumsound rises on the air,

its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says,

“I know you’re tired,

but come. This is the way.”


- Jalaluddin Rumi

The above poem comes from Listen, a publication of Spiritual Directors International, of which I’m a member. A free resource offered in service of the ministry of spiritual companioning, it can be downloaded here:

I hope this newsletter is an inspiration for your own practice of Sacred Reading. If you have any feedback or suggestions, I’d always love to hear from you.
