Our connection to each other, the spirits of the land and the elements support the creation of sacred times of ceremony.

Lammas Celebration – online

Monday 4th August 2025 at 19:00

Our Ancestors would have celebrated the beginning of the harvest season, and so we too, though not so closely in touch with the countryside, will meet to declare our gratitude for the sustenance of the Earth. Please bring a seasonal reading, song, poem, story, or recipe… and if you are growing herbs, fruit, vegetables etc. tell us about your produce. Have a candle to light to open sacred space and wear something colourful if you wish.

See the July newsletter for full details.

Book Reviews

 

‘Is a River Alive?’ by Robert Macfarlane

The idea that a river might be alive lies outside the bounds of well guarded orthodox science, but this book is a careful re-examination of this ancient way of perceiving the natural world.

Close to Home: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door by Thor Hanson

The title of this book sums up its content well: its aim is to encourage people to pay more attention to the nature surrounding them wherever they live, whether they have large gardens or in their local parks or surroundings.

GreenSpirit is part of a wider green/eco-spirituality, and Earth-based, Gaia-centred movement, linking people across the planet.
