The Future of Othona

Othona at Bradwell is a wonderful, spontaneous place where people meet together in community and things just happen…..sometimes. But so much of what “just happens” is dreamed up, thought through, discussed, planned, costed and budgeted, before the “happening” occurs. You only have to read Norman Motley’s book “Othona – Much Ado About Something” to see what prayerful energy it took to bring Othona to birth, sustain and nurture the two centres and above all, to bring about that sense of harmony so vital to Othona’s life. Skimming over a few decades, at Bradwell we are now moving forward together to build a Community, and spaces to sustain it, that are fit for future generations. We have a Bradwell Centre Committee, (BCC,)  which currently has three trustee/directors alongside five community Members. The BCC is responsible for supporting the Warden/Manager in their work, including Programme Planning, budget setting and helping organise volunteers for the open community times. We are also responsible for looking to the future.
