The ancient celts of Britain saw the sacred all around them. For them, 'heaven and earth are only three feet apart, but in the thin places that distance is even smaller'. Thin Places, which can be times, events or locations, where the numinous, the Other, the Divine is palpable, still exist. And what's more...you are encouraged to enter these 'borderlands', to stand in the gap, and to experience challenge, risk (yes, risk), growth and maturity, to attain knowledge, assurance, wisdom, power and relationality.
So often in the busyness of life we can pass by those initiations to stand in the gap, and this is where Caolait [pronounced 'kweel awtc, meaning: 'thin places] comes in, as we organise deeply spiritual sessions and events which not only show you how to stand in the gap, but assist and guide you to experience it!
Standing in the gap is where we move closer to the spiritual, closer to the Divine [metaphorically, as the Divine is always present, and does all the initiating, and we respond]. We become (more) aware through guided meditation, guided angelic encounters, inner castle meditation etc, and so are more 'open' to experiencing the Divine 'nudge' or encounter. And it's so beneficial to those seeking answers, reassurance or empowerment, and more!
Have you ever stood in the gap? Practiced meditation? Ever reflected on your worth, status, calling, or your place in the universe, or what you should do next? Standing in the gap, to gain a new perspective could be very beneficial to you.
The Divine, too, commends us to enter that borderlands of opportunity, and says, 'I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap...' [Ezekiel 22:30a].
Liminal experiences, sometimes called 'thin places' is something we all experience from time to time but usually never pay heed to, and so we loseout. But we'll show you how to be (more) receptive to them, guide you to stand in the gap, and 'watch' as you grow spiritually!
