It strikes me how egalitarian and democratic this Way is. The experience is non-verbal and utterly simple – we cannot see our own heads. Each of us has a unique response to this fact. There is no ‘right’ response – each person’s view from the Source is valid and important. And if someone finds no value in not being able to see their own head, this response is just as valid too!

Given this, the Gathering became an opportunity to explore and share the meaning and implications of this unique experience – the experience of headlessness. It was also an opportunity for singing, dancing, an opportunity to hear Alan Rowlands play classical piano each evening, for walks round the cathedral and the town, for enjoying the great food at the college. And of course, it was an opportunity to meet new people who value this experience, as well as seeing old friends again. And what an international lot we were – Dutch, Belgian, Australian, American, German, Swedish, Welsh, Irish, Danish, Hungarian, and English!
