Under a full and clear November sun in Fulham Palace’s ancient walled garden, surrounded by wisteria, pear trees, and the occasional curious bee, something quietly magical unfolds.
In this episode of The Higher Self Dialogues, I sit down with Rev. Alison Chisholm Trower - a OneSpirit Interfaith minister, poet, and facilitator of the monthly One Light Gatherings in Notting Hill. We explore what it really means to stay “screwed in like a light bulb” when life feels like the front seat of a cosmic rollercoaster: exhilarating, terrifying, and rarely in your control.
What You’ll Learn
Staying Screwed In: Why the spiritual path isn’t so much about always reaching calm, but remembering you’re the light even when everything wobbles.
Holding Your Nerve: How the spiritual journey is often so much about just showing up through the ups, downs, and loop-the-loops of life.
One Light Gatherings: How a monthly circle in Notting Hill creates a space where people can simply be, breathe, and remember they’re not alone on the ride.
This conversation is warm, honest, and a gentle reminder that sometimes the most powerful spiritual connection is just what happens when two friends in a garden reassure each other: “Hold your nerve. Keep showing up. Bless everyone’s hearts.”
