Welcome
to the Order of the Wild
Rose
The
Order of the Wild Rose was founded by a group of people based in
Wessex,
seeking to live life in
harmony in a world that is out of balance and out of control. We
believe that there is potential for each and every one of us to grow in
consciousness irrespective of religous belief. There is currently an
awakening of ancient wisdom in both the East and West and seeking this
out is part of our quest. We believe that it is important
to commune with each other, the earth, and the greater force that
prevails thoughout the universe. The
finer parts of
our heritage and traditions hold a wealth of knowledge that can be
rediscovered by those who care enough to find and
awaken them from
their slumbers.
We
endeavour to seek out universal truths and learn how we
can apply them to daily life. We strive to learn more of the true
nature of the world; to live in balance with the earth and do what we
can to nurture it back to health. By joining together, sharing
experiences,
ideas, and learning, we move closer to a place of spiritual harmony and
by so doing help the whole of humanity.
Together
the whole is greater than the sum
of our parts.
The common belief
that binds us is that of a
divine force/god/spirit (call it what you will) that is part of us and
the
very
essence of universal knowledge and life itself. Although some may call
this christianity, druidism, buddhism or whatever, our
beliefs
are varied and based upon the roots of all true ancient religions that
stem from the
one
truth. This power, when
listened to consciously, connects us to the earth and heavens
so
that we may fulfill our potential as humans. We have been given
the gift of life and learning and our task today in this unbalanced and
dying world is
to care for the earth and
each other; to join with others and raise our awareness and ability to
enjoy life; in so doing we may help others.
Some
of
the ways in which we
work with and pay
homage to our divine spiritual
source are through
the following activities:
- Yoga (please see the
page on our teacher from India, Carol
Fraser)
- Meditation
- Music
- Sacred Dance
- Druidic celebrations
of special seasonal times
- Feng Shui
- Permaculture
- Eco-building
- Caring for our Nature
Reserve in Somerset.
Much
of
our learning comes through our friend and teacher, Carol Fraser,
who is
a pupil of Shin
Shiva Svayambhu, a master
considered to be a great
being of our time who has come to earth to help
mankind
during these troubled times.
PROJECT
We
are currently working on a new project which will be the setting up of
a small community within Dorset. It will be a place of living and
working, aimed, in particular, at helping "lost" or
struggling individuals who are having difficulty
finding their place in the world, not being able to cope and not
knowing who or where to turn to to get help.
Based on proven concepts taken from many years of experience working
within the addiction and mental health field it will be a place for
people to have time out from the normal pressures of modern life. They
will be able to work on their spiritual path as well
as their physical and emotional needs, within a safe and nurturing
environment. A holistic approach will be taken, encompasing many
complimentary methods of care such as Reiki, acupuncture, and
homeopathy within a set programme of workshops, groups and
one-to one sessions by qualified therapists. The approach taken has
already proved to have success in helping families and individuals who
have had difficulties in coping with life, especially with addictions.
In the current pressure of modern life it is all too easy to come out
of balance and loose sight of who we really are. Young people
especially are having problems. Drink and drug addictions,
unemployment and crime rates all show how society is not at
ease as a whole. The
emphaisis seems to be on the material at the expense of the spiritual,
rather than finding a balance.
The
underlying premise of the project is that we are all unique beings who
benefit greatly from being in touch with our inner and true nature. We
can access this more fully by living in harmony with nature; growing
and eating organic food, living in carefully constructed and balanced
homes and working on our inner selves through yoga, meditation and
communion with each other. Achieving this
inner balance allows us to more
easily understand and learn about ourselves and how to make
the necessary changes that will alleviate our pain and grow outwardly.
We are currently seeking further funding and premises within North
Dorset. If anyone can help in any way or would like further details we
would love to hear from you.
You
are

anything resonates with you. We try to keep them updated and add bits
of interest regularly.
We

things that are happening concerning the
natural
world and mankind's
spiritual well-being; be it new research, events, talks, books or
groups. So please feel free to let us
know of anything of value you would like to share, or if you would just
like to contact
us and let us know you
exist.
