Origins Centre Update 25th March 2020
Dear every one and all, love to you and yours. Take best care you can!! Our prayers and warm thoughts.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to suspend all activities and weekends at Origins Centre until at least the end of May. An announcement about our movements post-May will arrive in a few weeks time as things progress. Please reach out if you, or anyone in the area needs a helping hand
We too are trying to comply with safe practice; help ourselves and others and keep an eye on the longer term. www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/coronacast/ is a touchstone for Origins and Coorain.
There is, thankfully, a self isolating, residential practice group forming at Origins. At this stage, Timbo, Steve and Stuart are there. Scott, Melinda and Kip are in self isolation before coming down. There are another three people considering their options.
Timbo is helping co-ordinate and most are here for 3 months at this stage.
Everyone will help look after Origins physically and financially, as well as practice and develop their art or interest. Some will help us produce online services such as Kindy, retreats, Patreon, etc..
Steve will lead on gardens, particularly vegies.
Jarrad will continue to do maintenance.
We are all fortunate in all this and appreciate it very much indeed.
Chime will remain based at Greenbushes with Shavi but remain physically involved at OC in corona responsible way.
Anne will stay at Coorain and keep in touch re Kindy, pottery and oversight.
Marissa will be in self isolation with family but maintain fb.
Sondra and Jim will stay away but Sondra will continue admin duties and oversight.
Sholto is working in disability care but might get down to help on the hill. Special good wishes to all who work in the care of others.
The committee will only meet virtually but Updates may come out more often.
TUSITA, at this stage, is available for locals only for short term respite/retreat (nurse, parent, carer?). Inquire through the office. Everyone brings their own pillow and linen.
REFUGE AND ACCESS are important, particularly to some sites like the Pagoda or Rocky Outcrop (ashes). All this is being seriously contemplated as time unfolds.
We will stay in touch. Chime is always available via email.
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!
We will try to reach out as this wave of illness goes on and prepare for a renewed future.
