Rachael Barham

Rachael is a spiritual director and poet, rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition, who loves to hold space for people to connect with their deep and true selves, and with the gift and mystery of the present moment, where connection with the Divine is to be found. She hopes that her meditations and poems will nurture the possibility of growing into a compassionate acceptance of reality, including of ourselves just as we are, and a deeper awareness of being part of a Greater Whole in which we are intrinsically valuable and unconditionally loved by the Ground of our Being.

Thanks Rachel. I’m coming round to this poem and trying to be a good hostess! It’s a work in progress. This practice was so helpful and i will return to it.

Wonderful way to understand all our inner guests are part of life’s journey and teach us, if we are willing to invite them in and listen to their lessons.

Very helpful. I usually don’t find visualization meditations to be effective for me, but this was great. Thank you!

A short poem but so containing so much. Thank you for asking that question and presenting the opportunity to think and believe differently. A blessing this morning. 🙏
