Month of Farming – The Land,
The History of Farming and Animal Husbandry
Throughout the month of April, it’s all about connecting, with nature and each other, The focus is on preparing the soil for planting, getting the animals situated and examined. Checking all the food stores carefully. All indoor or outdoor crops are collected and made ready for sale and canning all seeds collecting and stored. Most gardens will be tilled and preparations are made ready and applied as prescribed.
Clubs are still in focus and the Events Calendar teams are meeting and preparing their schedules for the seasons to come. Spring is the time of year for cleaning and signing up for jobs, commitments and volunteering. None of this is possible without connecting with each other. The Events and Festivals teams along with Home Life are there to help you find the best way to connect with the things you will enjoy doing the most and perhaps try something new and exciting. Connect with them during the week, between Monday and Thursday throughout the month of April.
The major festivals for the PEACH is Easter, and the Easter Egg Hunt. Services for both Pagan and Christian celebrations will post their schedules outside the Chapel doors.

Faustian Spirit
Oswald Spengler, defined the Faustian spirit as Western Culture’s insatiable and restless drive toward the infinite and unattainable. He identified this drive as emerging in Western Europe around the 10th century and reaching its full expression in the Gothic period.
Infinite space as a prime symbols –
Limitless power –
Technological ambition –
Confrontation with the infinite –
Goethe’s Faust Books I & II
The Faustian Spirit and the Vitruvian Man – the architect and the alchemist
Our People stand upon the threshold of decision. The historian declares our destiny is sealed in the West, our Faustian Soul, must bow to the iron law of decline, its striving exhausted, its future, but the gray monotony of power and barbarism.
Yet, against this shadow, arises another voice who proclaims that fate is no prison. It bids us to turn inward, to awaken the slumbering powers our kin etches deep into our bones, the imagination, for therein lies the seed of renewal.
If we heed pessimism alone, the Vitruvian Man presses forever against his enclosing circle, bound to fall back upon himself. But if we step towards the auspicious, heed the positive, if we resolve on the good, that same figure may at last step beyond the circle and the square, to shape with free spirit what no historian’s chart may bind.
Which vision do we embrace — the twilight of inevitability, or the dawn of possibility — this rests not with the stars, nor with the cycles of history, but within us.

She Walks in Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
