Isle of Wight marking International Peace Day

A morning spent sharing and enjoying colour and patterns decorating a giant mandala, listening to inspiring music by John Downland on the radio chosen by Satish Kumar, and talking about peace. Some inspiring music was played by Mark on the piano
included 'I wish I knew how it would feel to be free' by Billy Taylor, and a very lively, toe tapping piece called 'Tuxedo Junction'. There was poetry on the theme of peace by Malcolm, two readings from books written by Thich Nhat Hanh, and a poem entitled 'Guantanamo' and 'Asylum seekers' by poet Tony Walton. A collection was held for 'War resisters' international'.
