Networks
Celtic network
A Celtic style service is held in the WellSpring chapel, which incorporates some music, prayers and quiet reflection.
Dates: Thursdays at 8 p.m. on 15 September 2011 and 17 November 2011.
Circles of trust network
A circle of trust (based on Parker Palmer's bestseller, A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey toward the Undivided Life) is a place to explore one's inner life with others through readings, poems, symbols, story and conversation. Drawn from ancient and contemporary wisdom, it is a non-religious yet deeply spiritual approach to identifying our 'inner landscape'. Throughout the year our outer landscape, such as ocean, mountain, desert, forest and the seasons will be used as metaphors and images of our inner life.
Parker Palmer is an author, educator and activist who focusses on issues in education, community, leadership, spirituality and social change. As a Quaker, he has explored the power of both silence and action within life. His book A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey toward the Undivided Life has become a groundbreaking bestseller and a guide to those wanting a fuller and richer life.
Dates: Second Wednesday of each month (until November), 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

Dreams network
The WellSpring Dream Network brings together a group of people who are interested in deepening their own personal experience of dreams. Following the Jeremy Taylor workshop the group follows a structured format where the respect for the dreamer is paramount. It affirms the belief that all dreams lead to health and wholeness and with this principle the group explores dreams using a projective method.
Dates: Second Thursday of each month, 1 to 3 p.m.
Cost: Monthly payments of $10 can be made through the WellSpring office at each session.
