These are times of crisis, breakdown, and opportunity, when we need to find a sense of meaning and purpose in our own lives, in our communities, and in the bigger picture. This new network aims to help people and groups who are searching at the level of soul or spirit for a higher purpose beyond personal and material concerns. See more at www.soulresilience.net.



We want to offer a sense of fellowship, a range of ways to explore, and a community that can deepen together, to give people the inspiration and soul strength to grow and be of service. We especially hope to support young people, whose despair about the future is often acute.



We are exploring four main initiatives:

• Virtual Fellowship Circle: an online sharing, exploration and support space.
• Pilot programmes: both online and in person.
• Resources and connections: especially via our website.
• Spiritual community and learning centre: medium-term, we hope to create a physical base in Mid Wales, to include growing food and teaching practical skills.

Climate change is such a huge and potentially overwhelming issue that it's hard to engage with. Chapter 6 of my book was the hardest to write, but I believe it offers a good map to help you grow through climate change. So if you haven't bought my book yet, here's a good reason to do so! For a summary of Chapter 6, click here.

Since the September newsletter, this project has secured £96K of funding from members of the Network for Social Change, we've appointed a part-time Project Director, and Year 1 plans are underway. We hope that this work will have substantial benefits for many community groups in Years 2, 3 and beyond.
