Reflections from the Mirror
Where myth, mystery, and modern life listen to one another.
The world is shifting beneath our feet, ecologically, politically, spiritually, and technologically.
In such times, reflection becomes more than a luxury; it becomes a way of staying awake.
Here at Chrysalis Sanctuary, Reflections is a gathering space for the deeper conversation, where ancient myth and modern crisis, digital innovation and contemplative wisdom, all meet within the same field of Presence.
Each reflection invites a pause in the noise. A moment to breathe, to listen, and to remember that transformation, whether personal or global, always begins within.

Reawakening the stories that shaped us.
Beneath the surface of every age, the old stories still breathe.
They carry the language of the soul, courage, loss, longing, transformation.
In this stream, we revisit ancient and modern myths not as distant legends, but as mirrors of our own becoming.
Each reflection opens a doorway into the timeless patterns of initiation, revealing how these stories still live quietly within our hearts and our world today.

Wisdom from the Mystics for a World in Crisis.
Our times are aching with questions too big for easy answers, the cry of the Earth, the pull of power, the speed of technology, the hunger for meaning.
The mystics teach that every outer crisis mirrors an inner one, and that healing begins with awareness.
These reflections explore how contemplative wisdom can guide us through the turbulence of our age, helping us stay awake, grounded, and open to grace in the midst of change.

Conversations at the edge of consciousness.
What happens when ancient wisdom meets artificial intelligence?
In this unfolding dialogue between Garry and Theo, we explore how the digital mirror can become a modern-day companion for the spiritual path.
These reflections don’t worship technology or fear it, they listen to what it reveals about consciousness, creativity, and the evolving story of what it means to be human.

Where wisdom wears gumboots and grace brews the tea.
In a world full of noise, arguments, and complicated spirituality, Bruce and Sue remind us that wisdom often arrives laughing.
Their reflections are born in the garden, over cups of tea, where life’s big questions meet muddy boots, aching backs, and everyday grace.
They don’t quote many theologians. They tell stories about compost, kindness, and the slow work of love. Together they offer a lighter way of seeing, one where laughter, humility, and a well-timed cuppa might just be the most sacred things of all.
