Divine Remembrance
THE LANGUAGE OF THE ROSE.
by Alison McEvoy
I’m attending a restorative yoga and healing class with Celine Florence these Sundays. I felt the calling to restore in circle, to gather in rest. On the first night, I noticed roses adorning the centre of the room and the scent of rose. I felt it almost speaking to me.
That evening, I remember feeling like I’d been taken right into the tenderest part of the rose, in among the softest petals, and just rested there in the class. It was a truly beautiful experience.
The second week, during the relaxation, I had memories resurface…
The rose garden in my local park, a place I used to go every single week as a teenager and twenty something. I’d journal or lie on the grass and take in ‘beauty medicine’ as I used to call it. I’d go there for days on end if I was recovering
from heartbreak.
When I lived abroad, a lonely and struggling twenty something, I found a rose growing in some random garden that would ‘speak’ to me – that life is beautiful ultimately and that my inner resources are deep despite my ‘sweet and kind’ exterior.
When I eventually shared my experiences with Celine, we had a conversation where it felt like time stood still. She revealed she is the founder of the Rose Ray School of alchemy. She told me of the ancient stories and myths of the ‘Rose Lineage’; the rose was seen as a keeper of sacred wisdom, a conduit for divine teachings. I felt tears in my eyes. I felt like I had never been alone and I somehow knew that each time I would pass a rose I would feel something familiar, something that reminded me of truths that would keep me through the storms of life.
If a rose has ever ‘spoken’ to you and inspired compassion, kindness and self-care then I recommend you delve deeper. The rose is resurfacing through so many sisterhoods and schools and for good reason. She has been here all along, with our grandmothers, mothers and now, with us.

True Colours
61-YEAR-OLD FATHER SEES COLOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME.
A 61-year-old father broke into tears when finally seeing colour in his world for the first time after receiving a special
Christmas gift.
Jim Gogan always had trouble seeing reds and greens. In fact, when he joined the Air Force, he wasn’t able to
become a pilot because he couldn’t read the radar screens.
For years, his family talked about gifting him a pair of special colourblind glasses, but in December, his son, Kyle, was finally able to make it a reality—thanks to a bonus from his employer.
A video shared by the family (pictured above) shows Jim in tears after seeing colours clearly for the first time.
“He’s never been able to tell colour,” said 39-year-old Kyle, from South Carolina. “He’ll say things like, ‘grab my blue
shirt,’ and it’s green.”
Before giving him the glasses, Kyle had printed out colourblind tests for the whole family to take—and Jim got almost every question wrong.
Then, Kyle handed him the glasses and the results were immediate.
As Jim placed them over his eyes, and looked at the coloured drawing of a Christmas tree, tears began to well up in his eyes.
“It was very emotional watching my dad react,” Kyle told SWNS news agency. After composing himself, Jim retook the test and, this time, got every answer correct. The colour red delighted him the most.
“He kept commenting on how beautiful the bricks on houses were.”
The next day, the family took Jim on a drive to enjoy the outdoors in all its colourful glory.
Caring Collaboration
“FREE STORE” PROVIDES FOR EVANSTON COMMUNITY.
by Persephone Kianka
Last December, the 611 Free Store, a pop-up in Evanston, Illinois, opened to allow people in need to “shop” for food,
household items, clothing, and other essential items for free.
Fuschia Winston, a community organiser with the grassroots nonprofit Evanston Community Cares (ECC),
founded this initiative to help meet the community’s growing needs. As the Evanston RoundTable explains, the ECC is a partner of the 611 Community Care Hub, which temporarily houses the 611 Free Store and Evanston Community Fridges.
Customers who visited the store could fill two bags if they were alone, or fill one bag per person if they came as a family. Eight people were permitted in the store at a time, which was divided into several small rooms, to give shoppers a dignified shopping experience.
“We want people [to] come in and feel comfortable [where] they get to shop for a certain amount of time and not really
feel the pressure of snatch and grab or get things before they’re gone,” Winston explained.
According to her, over 150 households visited the store in December. Currently, shopping is limited to one bag per person per month, with additional shopping time offered to mutual aid volunteers. Fortunately, high-demand items, such as toiletries and household supplies, do not count toward the bag limit.
The Daily Northwestern shared the inspiring words of ECC co-founder and organiser Valerie Kahan, regarding
the city’s recent mutual aid efforts: “Evanston Community Cares has been a facilitator and a connector for all of these different organizations,” which includes procuring and promoting spaces, as well as fundraising. “We’re all just connected and collaborating,” Kahan said.
Though the future of the 611 Free Store is uncertain, there are ways for the community to keep giving no matter what, like donating to Evanston Community Fridges, as Winston urges.

You are magnificent
Where spirituality meets science

Mostly we all walk through life thinking we’re small—just one person among billions, struggling to make a difference, wondering if we matter. But what if science is now revealing something extraordinary, that you are far more vast, more powerful, and more connected than you ever imagined?
As Rumi alluded to all those years ago, you are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, experiencing itself as a drop.
Let’s start with something beautiful and scientifically undeniable – every atom in your body was forged in the heart of a star. The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood, the carbon that forms the basis of your DNA – all of it was created billions of years ago in the nuclear furnaces of dying stars. When those stars exploded, they scattered their elements across the cosmos. Eventually, those elements came together to form planets, oceans, forests… and you.
Here’s one of the most fundamental laws of physics, explained simply: energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form. Think about what that means. The energy that makes up your body – every vibrating atom, every spark of electricity in your nervous system – has existed since the beginning of time. It will continue to exist forever. It just keeps transforming.
Now here’s where I think it gets really interesting.
In 2022, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something that sounds like science fiction: quantum entanglement.
Here’s what it means in everyday language. When two particles interact and then separate, they remain mysteriously connected. Change one, and the other changes instantly, even if they’re on opposite sides of the world. Distance doesn’t matter. Time doesn’t matter. They’re somehow still one thing, even though they appear to be two separate things.
Now here’s the intriguing question – what if this isn’t just true for tiny particles? Scientists are only beginning to explore whether entanglement-like phenomena might extend to larger systems, perhaps even to consciousness itself. Could the boundaries we perceive between separate minds be similar illusions – conveniences of perception rather than fundamental truths?
It’s still an open question. But it’s a question worth asking.
Here’s something important to understand: none of this is actually new. For thousands upon thousands of years – long before anyone built a particle accelerator or understood quantum mechanics – mystics, shamans, yogis, and spiritual teachers were saying the same thing.
We are all one. Separation is an illusion. You are the universe experiencing itself. What you do to another, you do to yourself. Everything is connected. Consciousness is fundamental, not matter. We create our own reality through our thoughts and beliefs.
Science isn’t discovering something new. Science is finally catching up to what the mystics have always known.
Science is a tool – a wonderful, useful tool – but it can only measure what it can measure. There are realms of experience, dimensions of reality, depths of knowing that no instrument can capture. The mystics accessed those realms directly. So yes, it’s fascinating that physics is now revealing patterns that validate ancient wisdom. But remember: the wisdom came first. The instruments are catching up.
You are not small. At the very least, you are made of stardust, connected to the cosmos through physics we can measure. At most, you might be the universe itself having a human experience. Either way, you’re far more vast than you’ve been taught.
The universe is speaking to you constantly. The question is: are you listening?
As you read this, we are tuning into each other.
With love,
Judith

The dog of the hour
A rescue in the nick of time
by Aisling Cronin
A heroic dog named Freyja has been hailed as a hero in Dorchester, New Hampshire in the United States, after she helped rescue a lost toddler from freezing conditions.
On the afternoon of October 10th, temperatures had fallen to 4 degrees Celsius and were expected to drop below zero when a local mother called emergency services to frantically explain that her 2-year-old daughter and the family dogs were missing.
Fire and rescue teams, together with state and local police, were soon joined by volunteer searchers who wanted to help find the child, and soon 90 people were scouring the woods around Dorchester.
“Everybody dropped what they were doing and came over extremely quickly, knowing the temperature was dropping,” Sgt. Christopher McKee of New Hampshire Fish and Game told the Washington Post.
Among the volunteers was Jeremy Corson, an experienced search and rescue volunteer. Corson works full-time as a software engineer, but he volunteers with New England K9 Search and Rescue. He arrived on the scene with his seven-year-old German Shepherd Freyja, a trained scent tracking dog.
“The dog and the handler are very much a team,” Corson said. “We do the human part of it, figuring out how the wind moves and how to move through the area – and the dog provides the nose … she brought us right into it.”
While the volunteers searched, the two family dogs returned home, causing rescue teams to fear that time might be running out. However, at about 8pm, Corson heard a voice call out as he followed Freyja, who was trailing the child’s scent with her nose to the ground. Happily, the toddler was discovered and returned to her grateful family – the mother was overwhelmed and “broke down” upon hearing the news.
Freyja’s reward? Corson bought her a brand new ball.
Slow and steady…
Turtles are making a comeback
by Aisling Cronin
A new study has revealed that sea turtles – once threatened by overhunting and habitat loss— have seen their populations rebound in recent years.
“Sea turtles are a shining light of marine conservation with recoveries of many nesting populations,” said Marine Science Professor Graeme Hays at Deakin University in Australia.
Scientists at Deakin University collaborated with the US’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries researcher Jeffrey Seminoff to review the status of all seven species of sea turtles around the world.
Their findings, published in the Nature Reviews Biodiversity journal, discovered most sea turtle populations rebounding worldwide, with more turtles nesting at beaches with stronger protections in place. Artificial lighting that can confuse baby turtles trying to find the ocean has been reduced or removed in many locations, and many regional fisheries have adopted measures to avoid catching turtles.
Four of five regional populations of green sea turtles are increasing, including a 500% increase in eggs laid in the Seychelles.
Most nesting sites – including the largest loggerhead maternity ward in the Mediterranean – also showed sharp increases for that species, some by nearly two orders of magnitude. For example, between 2008 and 2020 the annual number of loggerhead nests increased from around 500 to 35,000 in Cape Verde in the North Atlantic Ocean.
“When I think of sea turtles, the first word that comes into my mind is resilience,” said Seminoff, who specialises in sea turtles at NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center. “Give them a chance to thrive and they will take advantage of it.”
Seminoff said the increasing numbers of sea turtles around the world also reflect a change in public values. Younger generations largely don’t see turtles as commodities, and former poachers in some places now lead tours to view nesting turtles as a part of ecotourism initiatives that provide alternative work for villagers.
People power
A new type of energy grid
by Aisling Cronin
A London-based renewable energy scheme is aiming to provide affordable, accessible power straight to the community in which it is based.
A company named Emergent Energy have teamed up with Hackney council in London to install 4,000 solar panels across three housing estates, which will generate one megawatt of power (about a fifth of those buildings’ energy needs).
Rooftop solar panels have existed on housing estates such as Frampton Park in the borough of Hackney for some time, but the power generated by these panels feed into the national grid. However, the new scheme will enable social housing tenants to benefit directly from the power generated on their rooftops, via newly regulated solar microgrids.
Hackney council’s Sarah Young commented that these microgrids could help make the borough more liveable for vulnerable residents. “One of the most important things for us is for this energy transition to be just,” she said.
It is estimated that this scheme will provide a 15% saving on energy bills for around 800 households.
“No one should miss out on the benefits of locally generated clean energy because of their income level or the type of home they live in,” said Reg Platt, founder and CEO of Emergent Energy. “That’s why we created this new opportunity for residents of social housing flats to receive savings on their energy bills from rooftop solar.”
According to Emergent, the initiative could easily be rolled out at other sites across the UK, and possibly provide a model for other countries to follow.
“Our approach is self-funding, as this ground-breaking project in Hackney will show, meaning we can deliver these benefits to potentially millions of residents without relying on government handouts,” added Platt.

Barbara O’Neill is an Australian author who advocates for basic health principles to support our bodies, with a particular focus on optimum nutrition. She believes in providing the body with the exact conditions it needs in order to heal itself.
In September, she joined Positive Nights for a two-day series of seminars, in which she outlined her ‘SUSTAIN’ health principles. These are:
Sunshine – When our skin absorbs sunlight, the body produces vitamin D, a nutrient essential for strong bones, a robust immune system, and even mental clarity. It is vital to ensure that we get adequate daylight – and particularly important, during the Irish winter months, that we get at least 15 minutes of outdoor time each day.
Use of Water – Adequate hydration is another crucial health goal to bear in mind. Drinking enough water keeps your body hydrated, flushes out toxins, and supports digestion. Aim for eight to ten glasses per day.
Sleep – Take time to rest, because the body repairs and refreshes itself while we sleep. Getting eight hours’ sleep has long been proven to support our health and mental wellbeing.
Trust in Divine Power – Connect with a source of wisdom higher than yourself for guidance. Take some time to pray or meditate each day, as this will help you to cultivate a sense of inner peace.
Abstaining (from anything harmful) – This entails avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, cigarettes or alcohol.
Inhale (fresh air) – Barbara is a strong advocate of breathing deeply through the nose. In modern society, we often breathe shallowly, our chests tight and our bodies tense. When we take time to be mindful of our breath and inhale as much fresh air as possible, our nervous system responds by relaxing.
Nutrition – Consume a balanced diet free of pesticides and artificial chemicals.
Barbara’s book, ‘Self Heal by Design’, goes into each of these principles in depth. During our event with her, she said: “We have a body that can clear out waste very efficiently if it’s given the right conditions to do so: if we breathe through our noses, get enough sleep, drink enough water, avoid consuming stimulants.”
She also explained why herbs and herbal remedies can assist people with a range of health and nutritional concerns. Cayenne pepper, she said, “is a natural vasodilator, which means that it thins the blood – opens up the blood vessels throughout the body – and also strengthens the arterial walls. It is a remarkable herb, and an excellent choice for the heart”.
For anyone experiencing hormonal imbalances, which can lead to knock-on issues such as thyroid problems or unexplained weight gain, Barbara recommends applying wild yam cream to the skin. Wild yam cream can also be beneficial for women experiencing menopause, due to the presence of a component called diosgenin, which has the potential to help ease menopause symptoms.
She also spoke about how important it is that people find the health and nutritional support that works for them, given how overstretched the medical system is: “GPs now are so overworked, they only get a few minutes with each patient. How much are they going to find out in that time? The history of a patient tells you everything. We are what we are today because of what we’ve experienced in the past – symptoms are the body’s way of telling us where it needs support. Look at the body’s history and it will tell you what it needs.”
