The Open Sanctuary have just had their AGM.
The perfect opportunity to experience beginnings and endings.
What has been resisted, learned from and offered to another in the previous year.
It is a natural point of review, reflection, renewal and growth.
From the previous year what informs the coming year and what can we now offer from that acquired wisdom?
Sometimes it takes courage to step into a new version of ourselves as it is often untried and untested. It takes courage to be willing to put oneself forward in a role that may be new to us.
Here the generosity of those in the Open Sanctuary mirrors their core beliefs, one of which is:
“Our purpose is healing through union”.
How reassuring it is to have role bearers offering to shadow and support the incoming office bearers as they take up their new roles.
Such an opportunity to deepen connections with another, all of which is part of the healing dynamic, moving duality into non duality.
Such a gift to see people model their beliefs.
An ending blessing tomorrow.

It’s wonderful to read your thought on the The Open Sanctuary’s recent AGM and the reflections on beginnings and endings that it has sparked. AGMs indeed provide a unique opportunity to take stock of their past achievements, learn from their experiences, and plan for a better future. Your blog beautifully captures the essence of this transformative process.
The willingness of role bearers to mentor and support incoming office bearers is a testament to the Open Sanctuary’s commitment to its core beliefs. This act of passing on knowledge and experience not only strengthens community members but also fosters a sense of community and interconnectedness. It’s a beautiful example of individuals embodying the values they hold dear.
In a world where actions often speak louder than words, it’s heartening to see people not only espouse their beliefs but also live them out in their everyday interactions and roles within an organisation. This serves as a reminder that true change and growth often begin at the individual level, and when people align their actions with their values, they can create a ripple effect of positivity and healing.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring reflection on The Open Sanctuary’s AGM. It serves as a reminder of the power of unity, reflection, and living our values in action, which can lead to transformative growth and healing for both individuals and organisations.
With love, Cate
