How do we make every day celebrations meaningful again? Our culture has seemly forgotten the necessity of honouring transitions through all stages of our lives. Come and hear how we can create ceremonies that resonate be it for a birthday or retirement, baby shower or coming of age. Please also come to acknowledge the 8 years of work that Peter has done for Capital in his role of Lay Chaplain.

That is the translated title of a wonderful book by the German scientist, writer and TV personality Hoimar von Ditfurth. He wrote a number of much discussed books on science, ecology and peace. Oddly, his most influential book has not been translated into English. It talks about our place on this earth, our seeming inability to take care of it and about coming to terms with its destruction, without falling prey to inaction and fatalism. Ben will talk about the subtle messages of this author and the role this book has played in his attempt to come to terms with a world that is not behaving as it should.

Rituals are a part of life, from daily routine habits like making coffee to life milestones that inspire us to celebrate. This talk will illuminate how we have an opportunity to harness the power of consciously designed rituals to affirm any aspect of our life, including self growth, transition and manifesting desired dreams our outcomes.

“The Songlines” is inspired by a book of the same title by Bruce Chatwin. He ventures into the desolate land of Outback Australia to learn the meaning of the Aboriginal’s ancient “Dreaming-tracks.” Along these timeless paths, among the fortune hunters and redneck Australians, racist policemen and Aboriginal holy men, Bruce discovers a wondrous vision of our place in the world. In the book Bruce muses upon war, peace, wandering and many other issues. My Homily will hopefully interest each one of us to ask the question, “What is my “Songline” or “Dreaming track” just what is it that guides us through the labyrinth of our lives.
