Festival of Spirituality and Peace
We could all use more love in our lives, so if the chaotic festival season leaves you feeling a little frayed then the
Festival of Spirituality and Peace might be the answer to your karmic woes. The theme of this year‘s festival, power and freedom, is a commemoration of the abolition of slavery and a reflection on its legacy. Many of the events are free, including a guided labyrinth walk in George Square, singing workshops and meditative walks. Harpist Phamie Gow will be performing, a photography exhibition examines the contemporary slave trade, and there will be talks from authors and religious figures, notably Thought for the Day regular Rabbi Lionel Blue and long time Blair-botherer Tony Benn (pictured). A portion of every ticket sold goes towards Mary's Meals, a
charity providing daily school dinners to 200,000 children living in poverty. (Kirsteen Connor)
