Wellbeing and the outdoors: Contemplative walking (Image credit: A Hook)
Throughout our lives transitions require us to review what has become most significant and meaningful to us. Whether triggered by loss, profound love or uncertainty we aim to reflect well upon our inner life and outer world through readings, art, poetry, metaphor and now through walking (wellbeing and the outdoors). Here we gather and distribute via an e-newsletter personal and collective work (reflections) from within the Coracle community and draw on the work of theologians, writers, poets and artists as they strive to provide maps for the wellbeing, maturity and faith development of individuals and communities. Please use the site wide Search facility below to enter subjects of interest.
We explore, offer and consult on generic and site specific installations. We craft and advise on contemplative trails and collate pages of trails and spaces within Scotland, providing accompanying reflective material. We also run groups in Edinburgh: a mid-life spirituality group and a motherhood and God group. Contact coracletrust@gmail.com for more information.
