Dear community,
As you may have heard, Josh from ConsciousFilmCo will be doing some filming tomorrow at our Wake Up session for the Being Peace centre fundraising video. …
We would like to warmly invite you all to our end-of-year Be-In next Saturday, the 17th of December. The Be-In will begin at 6pm and will be held after our usual Wake up session. We will start with a mindful dinner (bring a small vegan dish to share). If you have a song, poem, reading or anything you’d like to share with the community this will be an opportunity for us to be together and enjoy the creativity that is present in our Sangha.
We welcome all London Sanghas to join us for this celebration! Our facilitators will take names at the start of our session for those who would like to share. We will try to give everyone an opportunity, but we would like to ask for your understanding that we may only have time for a limited amount of sharings/performances when we are with many.
We hope to see you all next weekend!
Date: Saturday, December 17th | 6PM – 9PM
Location: Meeting Room, The Quaker House
