Welcome to this year's Advent retreat in collaboration with Sacred Space, written by Gemma Simmonds CJ. 
Do you know that God is with you?

After a year of challenges, changes, suffering, isolation and social distancing, perhaps there's never been a more important time to reflect on the Incarnation; to reflect on God's incredible plan to draw as close as possible to us, by becoming one of us. 

As ever, we are in collaboration with Sacred Space too, so if you'd like to listen and read step-by-step, Sacred Space will have that option for you.

Sessions last about 20-25 minutes will be released week by week.

EP 993 Book Review เศรษฐศาสตร์ความจน

หนังสือที่ทำให้เห็นมุมมองหลาย ๆ อย่างที่คาดไม่ถึงเกี่ยวกับความจน รวมถึงข้อเสนอแนะที่น่าจะเป็นประโยชน์ ผมนำมา Review ไว้ใน Episode นี้ครับ

EP 993 Book Review เศรษฐศาสตร์ความจน

A five-day programme of prayer to lead you a little deeper into Ignatian spirituality.

St Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1540, with nine companions, was also the founder of a tradition (or 'school', or approach to prayer) now known as Ignatian spirituality.

Four years ago, running up to the Feast of St Ignatius (31 July), Pray-as-you-go took the form of a five-day "novena" (using the term a little loosely - a novena should be nine days!)  This was a programme of meditations in the Ignatian tradition, with each day building on the previous one, giving the user the opportunity to go a little deeper than is usually possible with the short, daily prayer sessions. 

Way of Ignatius - Part II

St Ignatius recommended the Examen, an ancient Christian prayer, to all Jesuit priests and brothers. The prayer aims to allow you to understand how God works in your life through your thoughts, actions, and feelings.

This Examen can be used everyday but is particularly designed for the end of the working week.

Examen Prayer VI - For The End Of The Week

A track that was initially going nowhere (you could argue at over eight minutes long with about a single change it still does that...) but kept demanding to be made into something. So I did. Did not end up how I expected, which is part of the joy of this. Into double digits for tracks now, and almost double digits for run time. Maybe one day I'll write a sub-five minute long song again.

By Way Of Comfort

8 April 2018

A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive.

EP 918 เราทำนายความสุขในอนาคตได้ดีแค่ไหน

เคยเป็นแบบนี้ไหมครับที่เราเคยคิดว่าถ้าเราทำอะไรได้สำเร็จ เราจะมีความสุขมาก ๆ แต่พอทำสำเร็จจริง ๆ มันก็มีความสุขแหละ แต่มันไม่ได้มากขนาดนั้น หรือเราเคยคิดว่าถ้าเราสูญเสียอะไรไป เราจะทุกข์มาก ๆ แต่พอถึงตอนนั้นจริง ๆ มันก็ไม่ได้มากขนาดนั้นเช่นกัน ลองมาฟัง Episode นี้ที่ผมสรุปมาจากการดู Facebook Live พูดคุยกันระหว่างอาจารย์ณัฐวุฒิ เผ่าทวี กับอาจารย์ Daniel Gilbert จาก Harvard University เผื่อเป็นประโยชน์ครับ
