Hi Jane, it's the 24 th. Alistair sent a message to say he had to cancel the 20th. Hope to see you there..♥️🙏

Hi @gill Thanks for the heads up but @patti is correct. Lindisfarne is the more famous English holy isle. And then there are at least two I know of in Scotland. Iona, a famous Christian site like Lindisfarne and Holy Isle off the coast of Arran which is owned by the Buddhists of Samye Ling.

Hi Jane, Welcome to the group. I gasped when I read your story and then breathed a sigh of relief that you are here with us now. I live in California, and I too first was introduced to Alastair on escape. The show became truly addictive for me in a very good way, and brings me much enjoyment. You are 100% correct about Alastair. His calm manner is infectious and soothing. Plus, his personality is so wonderful. I’m so glad you are with us in the group. There are so many wonderful things to explore from meditations to retreats. If I didn’t live in California, I would go on as many retreats as possible with the group. Anyway, I wish you were truly wonderful day today!

Hi Jane, like Patti said what a story. This is a nourishing community and I hope you will feel this during the sessions. 💐

Hi there, Jennifer! Welcome to Mindsprings. It’s really lovely to have you here, we’re very happy to welcome folk from across the Atlantic . Perhaps you could come to some of the zoom classes if time-zones allow? or maybe our upcoming online retreat on the three marks? In any case, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me And to look around the site and see if there’s anything of benefit. Sending your very best wishes, Alistair

Welcome Jane, glad you can join us 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🙏❤

Hello Susan and Minnie, greetings from the Netherlands Mechteld-Hanna and Doortje (funny brown dog)

Welcome! And greeting also from me and my (very big) dog Ben who you WON’T see in the sessions because he doesn’t fit in the room where I teach! You might see two of my cats - Diogenes with the white belly and stripes and Kitling, the black one. We didn’t get your name though… it just comes up as dkm59

Hi Jane. Yes Alistair clarified that you have to book each Milarepa session separately, just like the morning ones. Hope this finds you well x

That one looks really interesting. I saw it is available free here https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/stand-out-of-our-light/3F8D7BA2C0FE3A7126A4D9B73A89415D as a openaccess pdf.

Wow! Wishing you much happiness in your new home 🙏

Hi there Vicky, welcome to the Mindsprings gang. Every year I am grateful for this lovely bunch of folk and the positive energy they created together. I hope you find something beneficial in all the various things we offer and I send you much light and serenity for 2024. Alistair
