This coming week is International Day of Peace Week.
This is way more than a day on the calendar.
Countries at war have held a ceasefire for a day, and much more. I invite us each to find a way to acknowledge and further the goals of peace in OUR lives and world.
There are a heap of events that I know of coming up in Brisbane over the next few weeks. Here's a start to keeping track of them, to not miss out on any. :-). All these are exceptionally reasonably priced. You could even attend every one of them as they don't overlap.
