Music & the Psyche IX

Residential weekend at Rhoscolyn, Holy Island, Anglesey, N Wales

May 2000

This was another successful residential music retreat which took full advantage of the exquisite surroundings, as evoked in:

Russell's Haiku

Dew under bare feet
On my way to the headland
I walk on blue squills.

The following extracts are from testimonials submitted by some of the participants:

'I'm suddenly filled with that joyous feeling again, and have a big smile on my face!... I have changed, and the world has changed...  Incidentally, I went and checked today that Ynys Afallon (Rhoscolyn) actually exists, and isn't just a figment of my imagination  -  yes, it is there, and the sun still shines, and the gate still creaks, and I'm still filled with joy!'   Delyth

'I am different and it all feels different. I / we have to learn how to fit
in differently... It was a wonder-full experience and I so look forward to M&P X or XI or whenever I catch up into the same time and place as you all again.'  and later  'I am enjoying my memories as they drift about in conversations.'    Adie

'Thank you for an amazing and deeply moving weekend, a new reality indeed... It was a great privilege to share the dance with such beautiful people.'    John

'Wow!! What an experience. I am processing away like crazy and reflecting back with my wife the events over the weekend.  I have never felt so suffused by the Spirit as I do now, after all that has happened.  How wonderful to spend such an uplifting and enlightening time in the presence of fellow travellers.  All were my teachers . . . '     Russell
