Barbeque at the Manse
Mark your diaries for 1 August for a barbeque at the Manse. We hope this year that we can relax in the back garden, and enjoy the day with a more or less traditional American cook-out. We’ll provide the main course and some side dishes for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans, along with beverages. You bring your favourite summer treat to share for afters.

SUNDAY 1 AUGUST
Dances of Universal Peace
2pm to 5pm
The Dances of Universal Peace are inspired by the wisdom and sacred phrases of the world’s authentic spiritual traditions which are sung as we dance. They engender a mood of joy, peace, liberation, contemplation and presence.
"The Dances of Universal Peace change lives. And the world changes life by life. All over the earth people long for an alternative to the numbing effects of consumerism, … They long for an actual experience of reverence for the earth and life in all its forms. The dances show how."
-Neil Douglas-Klotz
There is no need for any previous experience of this or any other form of dance. Please bring snacks to share during the break. Cost: £5.00 (concs) then sliding scale up to £10.00. You are invited to pitch yourself according to your means.
