We have registered "Holland House CIO" for an ecorace via digital balloon! This is a "virtual race" where you can buy one or more balloons and join a race that takes-off from Old Jerusalem on Easter day and lasts a week. You can track you balloon's flight and see where in the world the wind has blown it. There's some very nice prizes to be won via the organisation that runs the race and Holland House is also offering vouchers for Full Afternoon Tea for three for the Holland House supporter that comes first. It's a good company that runs these races, and they help raise a lot of money for charities. Here's two links - one to the company home page, and one to our page so you can buy your balloon(s). They cost £3.00 each, and once you've purchased them you can decorate them in your own style, and even decide how much helium you want to put in them (all virtual of course).
We're hoping to raise £500, generate interest in the House, and provide our lovely supporters with some fun at Easter.Please follow the link to purchase your balloon

International Aramaic scholar Neil Douglas-Klotz returns to Holland House in 2020 to guide us through the Beatitudes following the path to "ripeness".Breathing with Unity, Living with Blessing
Chant, Movement and Contemplative Prayer with the Aramaic Jesus
This year at Holland House, we will return to the heart-awareness of the present moment with a journey through the Beatitudes of Jesus in Aramaic. Through chant, simple circle movement and contemplative prayer, we will re-enter the state that Jesus calls tub, “blessedly ripe—at the right time and place” We will follow the journey of one of the most profound aspects of Jesus’ teaching, the Beatitudes in Matthew. This is a healing journey that takes us to deepest part of ourselves and then resurrects us in power and joy. Whether or not you have joined in these Aramaic retreats previously, this is a wonderful doorway into Jesus’ native spirituality and way of meditation.
