Aswoensdag is die begin van Lydenstyd, die 40 weeksdae en sewe Sondae voor Paassondag. Tradisioneel word hierdie 40 dae gesien as ‘n tyd van opoffering en hertoewyding sodat jy hierdeur iets van Christus se lyding aan jou eie liggaam kan ervaar.

Join me for a unique Lent series … starting February 14th!
Weekday reflections
I’ll be writing a brand new series, day-by-day through Lent – so you get a fresh e-mail each week-day morning (33 in total), and you, me and anyone else who’s signed up begins a journey together, sharing wisdom and encouraging each other along the way.
It won’t take too long to read each daily reflection – but they will take you to a deeper and richer place as you go.
Simple prompts for contemplative practice
I’ll also offer daily suggestions to help embed the material with simple contemplative practice or practical application, and to explore themes further with creative ideas, links, book references, etc when appropriate.
Weekly YouTube Live ‘Gathering’
Each week on Fridays at 5pm through Lent, I’ll also provide a short guided session live on YouTube so that we can gather together, and gather up the week’s reflections!
Your own RSVP responses make it a communal experience
There’s a chance to report back once a week through the popular RSVP section (if you want to – though there’s no pressure!). Share links, poems, observations when invited – so that the wisdom of the group is reflected, and we help to shape the series together!
Throughout, we’ll maintain an intimate one-to-one feel – yet the shared wisdom of the group as a whole creates an experience which is greater than the sum of its parts.
