Having moved to Bristol and being a long term member of a great walking group in the south-east I thought I'd see what was on offer in the South-West, the meetup site said over 70 people in the area were 'waiting for' a hiking group so I thought it might be worth a try. The group I'm used to ( http://www.walkingclub.org.uk ) is a 'self-organised' group where walks are flexible and very sociable so I'd like to follow that philosophy. One of the reasons why I moved to Bristol was to have easy acce …

A Course in Miracles is a remarkable book that lays out an entire spiritual path. It describes a philosophy of forgiveness where fear and guilt can be overcome through miracles. Miracles are defined as maximal expressions of love that remove the blocks we all have to the awareness of love’s presence. A Course in Miracles is not an end in itself. We wish to inform people of its existence but we do not seek membership. Our personal experience is that study of ACIM has helped us in our life. We the …

If you’re tired of being given your opinions, fed up with tabloid culture and no-brainer movies, you’ve got 157 channels and nothing worth watchi …
