I have also spent some time in training as a minister involving exploring becoming a Birth Art Mentor through Tamara Donn based in Kings Langley. The first of 3 day training sessions will enable me to offer Birth Art Cafe sessions in the North West and especially in Manchester and Stockport and, I hope, in Wythenshawe with pregnant and postnatal mums. This is something which has been transformative for me in my pregnancy transition into motherhood and as a minister of the church I think more inspiring spiritual support should be offered to parents to be and new parents. I found very few tools and resources on spiritual aspects of parenting and being birthed as a mother and hope to offer this from Spring 2011. Contact me if you are interested in being part of it or knowing more.
So the full moon and changing season are reflecting my inner life.
I find so many rich and stretching resources in the seasons and within my bible to enable me to connect to a sacred walk with the One of Love, Jesus, so I hope to share more with you in the journey towards the Birth of Advent through prayers, poems and reflections on the way of Jesus from my practise. Please add your own by leaving them in the comment box below.

A Christian blessing for autumn equinox:
May the moon bless us and remind us of the light and the dark held together
May the leaves turning bless us and remind us of the power of change
May the velvet darkness bless us and remind us of the womb of birth calling us to new life
May the Spirit of Christ live amongst us and within us as Good News is made flesh
Amen
