Of the different values that contribute to creating a sense of community, love is perhaps the most important. In this reflective event being hosted by the Brahma Kumaris in collaboration with the UK Values Alliance the “roots and fruits” of love will be explored.
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.
The UK Values Alliance and the Brahma Kumaris first organised this reflective annual retreat 8 years ago, and each year the reaction from everyone attending has been incredibly positive, and so the organisers have been inspired to continue.
The event will be on Wednesday 11th October 10 am – 4.30 pm BST in the peaceful environment of the Brahma Kumaris’ Global Co-operation House, 65-69 Pound Lane, London NW10 2HH.
