India and Laurence Freeman

Swam 22. Did some research for talk looking back through the blog - in the end I had too much material! To Corpus Christi Brixton - church open so able to sit in there and wrote in book for Fr Tom. Hall was OK and showed films on laptop. Maud and Xavier spoke well and all went well. Xavier particularly liked the mosaic from Jaipur so gave him the copy and Music and Liturgy as well. Nice lunch and a good turnout. To Heythrop and guess what Joey Draycott did not turn up to talk about his weird dissertation so chatted to 2 philosophy students and also saw Lokahi foundation director. Larry is off to Crete. Read some Eckhart reviews. To Angel and meditation centre. Laurence Freeman was late so started with meditation and he gave an excellent talk on Jesus and mentioning Dalai Lama and Panikkar. I asked a question about rainbow body and Eckhart. Nice eats and met Bridget, Maggie, Chris, Natasha and Liam. 30 there. Finished at 9.20 and train delayed coming home. Sent menu choices to John Thing for RSM.
