> Read the report on the Open Meeting held on 10th November 2025
These open meetings provide a much needed platform for exchanging ideas, having meaningful discussions, the chance to be heard and the chance to listen and for understanding to develop and flourish. They are a great opportunity to share your thoughts and contribute to the development of Beshara.
The Meetings are open to everyone, old and new; the only criterion is respect for each other. What will come of this initiative, time will tell, but we look forward to unleashing the potential. The meetings will last for approximately 60–90 minutes.
Facilitators: Hugh Tollemache and Elizabeth Roberts
We look forward to seeing you there.
