Product Information

Despite being the more experienced habitants of the house, Sophia and Kiki got to experience something new themselves – an orgy.

Telecoms ProvisionWhat I witnessed in Taize was, for me, perhaps the most beautiful thing I’d ever experienced. So beautiful that I was moved to tears. There in what is called the Church of the Reconciliation I saw young people from many different countries sitting together three times a day in prayer – morning, noon, and night. The prayer was filled with lovely meditative chants and songs that everyone sang and with brief encouraging readings from sacred scripture. In the middle of the singing there was an extended time of silence. The silence was about 10 minutes. All closed their eyes and sat in the stillness seeking God. All 3,000 of them. Following the silence, the singing continued. As the day unfolded we shared common meals, listened to teaching, and engaged in small groups on the hillside for conversation about peace, justice, scripture, and life. We were guided by thoughtful questions designed to draw out our own thoughts, feelings and experiences. We also worked together doing the everyday chores that needed doing. For seven days we followed the daily rhythm of the community. It was a week that was peaceful, inspiring, comforting and challenging. The thought of sharing a partner with outsiders fills many people with jealousy, and while Sophia has never felt envy, Kiki admits that there was one occasion she felt left out. For women who need that extra helping hand, Father Hudson’s Care staff and volunteers from the local parish provide support and guidance for each individual including welfare benefits, accessing GP and healthcare, signposting to local services, accessing education, managing money and befriending. For the past twenty years I have offered retreats, workshops and concerts in the United States and abroad. I have met many people and made many friends who agree that something like the Taize Community would indeed be a very good thing for the people of this country. Two years ago, I was told that the owners of Sophia House Retreat Center in Louisa, VA were about to put it on the market. Sophia House is a lovely retreat center with other buildings on 270 acres of wooded and meadowed land. I called them and arranged to meet. Our meeting went extremely well. It felt Spirit-led. We agreed that we would work toward the fulfillment of this vision of a new community that would, in many ways, be like the Taize Community. We would call it Community of Peace Louisa (CPL). Like most of his works, this novel does have a religious undertone but one does not need to be a Catholic (nor a Jew for that matter) to understand the message he's trying to pass on. There are also homosexual elements within the novel which may be a cause of concern for some readers but there is nothing graphic and is dealt with in a rather intelligent manner.

Pawel Tarnowski was sexually abused as a young boy though he repressed the memory, and it has overshadowed his life ever since, making him fearful of almost everything, especially himself and his own sexuality. He is a kind, good man but withdrawn, afraid to love or trust. Pawel struggles to protect David from the Germans, curious visitors to the shop, the harsh Polish weather and even his own unwanted desires. Read here about how Sophia’s House came about through the restoration of an early twentieth century convent, creating a unique heritage of place which has served women of the area for over a century.
