Recent Events
The Open Day on October 29th was very successful with a play about 'How Sophia came to be", singing, circle dancing and the launch of the 'Sophia Statement':
Sophia's Feast
"Wonderful!" "A great evening!" "Very special!" "Wow!"
About 90 people came to celebrate 20 years of Sophia. The room was decorated beautifully, the food was delicious and the company delightful. Musicians from Cabra provided lovely music as people arrived, Kaye Mehta acknowledged the work and vision of the Dominican sisters, the Sophia DVD was launched and everyone toasted Sophia joyfully!
20th Birthday Twilight Ritual
More than a hundred people gathered at Sophia on Saturday 4 April for Sophia’s 20th birthday twilight ritual. It felt like a gathering of our clan. We focused on the four elements – earth, air, fire and water - in our gratefulness for all that Sophia is. We progressed to the herb garden, the towering fig tree and then into the spiral centre of Sophia. The Sophia choir sang, we named the women who have shaped us, we honoured those who have gone before us, and we danced ‘Shalom’. We then feasted on shared food and lively conversation. A wonderful afternoon.
