Fr Brian Bainbridge

[Caitlin Frost]

I am sitting in such lovely memory of Brian's visit to Bowen Island, and our
sweet connection in San Francisco last year.
What a beautiful man.
And so grateful for the space he holds and invites in this Open Space
community and in the world.

Much gratitude and love to you in your travels Brian.

Caitlin.
