gathering in sacred fellowship

The Gàidhlig term cnuasach means 'gathering together', 'collecting', 'assembling', but it also means 'ruminating', or, 'pondering', and implies in this context a gathering of persons—both human and other-than-human—with the shared aim of reflecting together on sacred things, in order to gain new valuable insight into life and the journey of the soul, and to pursue the highest ideals of wisdom and wholeness in a state of real communion.​
