Earlier this year organised an online retreat based on the book "Catching Contentment" by Liz Carter.
During the retreat Emma wrote a number of paintings and a poem which she shared with those on the retreat. Chris was inspired to create a song from the poem and this is the result. We hope you enjoy the song and that it speaks to you.

In a myriad of ways
A deep sense of peace
To comfort my days
