Glenthorne Quaker Centre, Grasmere, 12th -18th April, 2024

picture of big house with trees in the background‘Spirituality of the Heart’ invites us to deepen the experience of God’s presence in our lives. Set amidst the beautiful Lakes, this four- day course follows a traditional Christian journey through the Four Paths of Creation Spirituality to help our hidden selves grow strong. 

Delighting in The Way of Wonder and Beauty, we also recognise the world’s struggles and our own through The Way of  Pain and Letting-go. Accepting our woundedness, The Way of Creativity and Healing helps release our potential to be co-creators with God. Embracing The Way of Change and Transformation offers healing for ourselves and our broken world.

 Facilitated by The Begin with the Heart Team, friends of the late Fr Daniel O’Leary, whose mission is to continue his work of offering a spirituality for anyone seeking a deeper and more fulfilling way of living.

05 July 2019 – Candlelight Fund

a lighted candleDaniel’s wish was that all profit from both An Astonishing Secret Book and the accompanying An Astonishing Secret Video Course should be donated to charity. In order to fulfil his wish we asked CAFOD to create a ‘Candlelight Fund’ in Daniel’s memory, with all donations being used for CAFOD’s disasters and emergencies work.

From the online course profits we were delighted to send £1000 to CAFOD on June 19th, the anniversary of Daniel’s ordination. We intend to make further donations at six-monthly intervals, as profits allow.
You can also donate to the fund directly at any time should you wish to honour Daniel’s memory in this way.
