LOVE BRINGS US TOGETHER - exploring the roots and fruits of love
A retreat for thought leaders and change makers, who are living their values and making a positive difference in the world
This event is organised by the UK Values Alliance and the Brahma Kumaris UK as a contribution towards World Values Day (19 th October). The theme this year is VALUES BRING US TOGETHER.
Of the different values that contribute to creating a sense of community, love is perhaps the most important. So, through a process of reflection, journalling and dialogue participants will go on an inner journey and explore different aspects of love and how we can express it more fully in our life and so help create a better world.
There is no charge for attending the event. However, contributions towards costs are welcomed.
