  BARB has sadly passed away.Her life was celebrated by more than one hundred people from our community who had been touched by her wisdom and presence.

  CHRIS has just won three gold medals at the transplant Olympic Games in Perth.He is pursuing his love of writing and art and supporting other people in their journeys with organ donation.

  ART has spent the last five years following his passion for holistic "body, mind and spirit" healing, both individually and  for family and community peace.  Living in the Philippines, a strongly Christian country, he believes Christianity needs to reconnect with its healing roots, helping empower people to take responsibility for their own healing.  His current passion is writing about how healing techniques embedded in the Bible and Gnostic Gospels can be practically expanded and directly applied by those in physical or mental suffering.”

She is registered as a candidate for certification with the Centre for Non-Violent Communication and is working on presenting Youtube role plays in positive ways of dealing with conflict.Priorities involve salsa classes, choirs, rejoicing in her grandchildren and wild Irish dancing at local pub.

  CATH sadly passed away recently. She was greatly loved by her family and friends and will live on in their hearts always. She leaves a young daughter, husband, family and many friends who are grateful to have shared some of their journey alongside hers, being the inspiration that she was for all.

  LAURA has deepened her ability to surrender to what is,helping her to transform tragic family circumstances into poetry. In her sixties she has found a new balance and vitality to follow her dream of travelling and sharing her writing and workshops on poetry as soul medicine around the world.
