Two communities - people involved with Maitri Studio, and those who live or attend at LORAG (Shaftesbury Community Centre, Lower Ormeau) - join to make a statement for peace.
Peace in our own hearts, intentions for peace in the world, even at this time when we are bombarded with news of violence and destruction.
Ahimsa (non-violence) is one of the fundamental bases of a yogic and meditative practice. Maitri means universal friendship and loving kindness.
Take a lunchtime out to set peaceful intentions and join our silent walk to LORAG where we will close (weather permitting) in their beautiful new walkway garden at the Lockhouse. The walk will be approximately 30 minutes and is along the pavement on Albertbridge Rd and then down the Lagan towpath.
You may then wish to stay and enjoy events and activities and food stalls at LORAG's health afternoon.
