“The Moon in man is sensation. Sensation in man is the growing part of his inner cosmos.”

Dear Reader
If you keep track of such things, you will know that the newsletter has missed two beats first in March and then in April, and even this issue is a little late. My apologies, I have been attacked by life and have had to postpone several things. Life does what it chooses, or as they say, man proposes and God disposes.
Anyway, aside from continuing with the various group activities I’m involved in, we are planning a Summer Week of Work in Germany at the beginning of August. If you are interested in attending or just curious to know the details click here.
Those of you who are fans of Stepehen Aronsons writings will be interested to know that his third and probably final book is close to publication. I’ll be abke to tell you more about it in the next newsletter.

Regards
RB
