Originally these talks were written by the author for use with a group of people who became known as the 'Monday Group' and because she accepted the Tree of Life or Qabalah to be the widest possible system of knowledge, she chose to use it as the ground plan on which to base her work with this group over many years. In the talks, Buntie was concerned with both personal development and the individual's spiritual life - getting in touch with it, nourishing it, extending the boundaries of awareness into those realms and drawing new strength from them. In other words, growing the deepest and fullest life possible. For them, the Tree of Life was a map with which they set out on a treasure hunt - a quest, a psychological journey, a living journey inward towards understanding. Following her death, the full value of these talks was realised as containing the true essence of Buntie's approach to life; her own experiences; the teaching that continued throughout her life, and as a result they were published. It was then found that her remarkable way of working with clients and groups gave the material an even wider appeal for anyone interested in, or studying, the Tree of Life as a means of personal development. And so publication continues. They contain a great deal of knowing - and much heart.
