Come Healing

I just had the privilege of sharing a few wonderful hours in the company of the amazing Leonard Cohen, who played Cardiff in his current world tour.

Plenty of food for meditation on the website/ facebook page also. I particularly appreciated the advice for wet gray days, to go outside to a woodland and smell the damp …
