Circles of Peace: Lighting Our Future

Sunday 15th November, 2.00-3.30pm
Join us for a beautiful afternoon of connection, reflection and renewal as we gather to explore ancient wisdom and unity. As it is Interfaith Week, the theme will be Lighting the way for a shared future.
Through music, poetry and shared ritual, we will journey together toward peace, tolerance and hope. The service will culminate in a Double Rainbow Ceremony and light ritual, returning the colours to the centre as a symbol of our shared harmony and oneness.
Led by Laura Roberts and Laura Patryas with special guest appearances:
  • Tom George – Liverpool songwriter and poet offering songs and verse to uplift the soul and enhance human connection (www.tomgeorge.uk).
  • Tom Shanti – Former Buddhist monk, yoga teacher, Tai Chi & Qigong instructor and Kirtan facilitator providing musical accompaniment (www.tomshanti.com).
  • Karen – Sound healing practitioner, Earth healer and guardian of elemental wisdom offering the resonant medicine of the Native American flute ([email protected]).
One Light • One Heart • One Voice • One Spirit
A free interfaith gathering for people of all faiths and none. Donations welcome.
