Non - Violence - A Day of Reflection

DAY OF REFLECTION

ONE WORLD- ONE FAMILY

The Practice of Non- Violence

Ahimsa & Satyagraha

‘The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.  ( Dalai Lama)

Sat 16th January 2016   ( 10.30 - 4.30 )

Friends Meeting House Wolverhampton

FURTHER DETAILS

We live in times of rapid changes. There is an  explosion of technology and knowledge with consequential challenges to old certainties and ideas. It is often referred to as a post-religious era where increasingly many question authority , religions , political systems etc. The danger is that we can 'throw out the baby with the bath water'. How can we retain the essence of both Ancient  and Modern Wisdom and use this  to face the challenges of our Modern Times?

This Day of Reflection will provide an opportunity to look at the power  of adopting a Non- Violent approach to the challenges facing our human family. We will have both video and other input famous exemplars of Non- Violence e.g.  from Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jnr, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela.  There will be time for Personal Reflection and Sharing

THIS IS AN OPEN EVENT – ALL ARE WELCOME

PLEASE BRING A PACKED LUNCH

Suggested Contribution  is £5 (to cover costs)
