ºRev Laura Roberts and Rev.Dr Laura Patryas warmly invite you to join them and their special guests to enjoy sacred sound, poetry, readings and the sharing of wisdom, love and light.


Circles of Peace: Rooted in the Earth, Guided by Our Ancestors

Sunday 25th October, 2.00-3.30pm
We warmly invite you to a special Circles of Peace gathering exploring themes of diversity, ancestry, remembrance and belonging.
As the wheel of the year turns, we honour the wisdom of those who came before us, we gather in a spirit of reflection, community and shared humanity.
Inspired by the themes of Samhain and ancestral memory, we celebrate the many cultures, faiths and traditions that enrich our collective story. Like roots woven deep beneath the earth, our differences become a source of connection, strength and belonging.
Led by Laura Roberts and Laura Patryas, this special gathering will also feature Sacred Samhain reflections and Native American flute offerings from Karen and Qigong with Surriya.

A free gathering for people of all faiths and none.
