I was aware we were calling in a powerful spirit animal when we created the Phoenix Mosaic on the terrace of the Universal Hall in 2020. Over many months of working on the terrace I held an attunement each morning. The words that came to me often included …

”May all that no longer serves be released and transformed
in the fire of the Phoenix
and may whatever is needed for the future
and for the highest good
be birthed from the ashes.”

Six months later a fire consumed the Sanctuary, the Community Centre and the Home Care Nest.

Now three years later the Foundation is preparing to cease running courses and to wind down its activities.

This is surely what is needed for something new to emerge.

The Phoenix carries a strong message of hope and the opportunity for a new beginning.

The insight that has come to me which I pass on to you is …

Honour the Phoenix during this time.
Include the Phoenix in your inner work
and welcome whatever wants to arise from the ashes.
