Hi Stella / Howard.
So tofu is off the menu now eh? About time! :)
Just kidding... sad to say it, but I actually don't mind the stuff these
days (to my eternal shame).
And yes, it would have been a sad roll-call this time around with seven
empty chairs but all I can say (without becoming too melancholy again) is to
do everything possible to stop there being an eighth.
I'm glad you guys all got to touch base again and had some quality time with
Ian, and I really hope you are all re-energised as you go forward. As for
Ian, I didn't know he was retiring. He will be sadly missed from the centre
but you are right, he has truly had an impact on those who came to him and
his lessons will go on through others in the years to come.
Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers, they help as I try and find some
direction and purpose again.
And just as a 'final' comment to everyone on the last few weeks; Deb really
appreciated the kind words from the group via email, cards, flowers and the
like in the weeks leading up to her passing, and the kids and I have
appreciated them since. I also want to thank those who came to the funeral.
This would not have been an easy thing to do and I really appreciate it and
I also appreciate those who gave donations to the Gawler Foundation on Deb's
behalf.
Love and best wishes,
Bruce

Hi Bruce. Yes we all attended along with John from NZ. From my personal
perspective I didn't get that much more out of it other than a deeper
understanding of the meditation. I chose not to sit in on some of the
topics as I have had enough of being on that emotional rollercoaster. I
thought the food was just soooo much better than in February. I have to
admit to you, that everytime when I looked across at that table that you and
Deb sat at, along with Tom and Gerald, it did make me feel sad. During the
time of Deb's funeral we were in the meditation sanctuary and I did say a
prayer for Deb, you and your family.
Ian spent a lot of time with the group and as you are no doubt aware he
retires at the end of the year. He has the satisfaction of knowing that his
presence on this earth has made a difference! It was really good to spend
sometime with Patti, Richard and John who have gone back home with lots more
direction and information. Hope all is going as well as can be expected
under the circumstances ...sending you a BIG hug and all good karma your
way. God bless. Stella and Howard xoxo

Subject: [gawlerites] How was the follow-up course at the Gawler Centre?
Hi guys,
I know that Patti, Richard, Stella and Howard were going to attend the 5-day
follow up course, but did anyone else make it and how did it all go?
(How about a brief report guys ... was it a worthwhile follow-up? Did you
learn new things etc?)
Cheers,
Bruce
