Inspired by the success of the recent open meetings, we are pleased to invite you to our next series in April and May, 2025.

These open meetings will 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.

All are welcome to these meetings. The Saturday meetings on the 26th of April and 24th of May will include many from the Asia Pacific region.

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 60 – 90 minutes.

Facilitators: Hugh Tollemache and Elizabeth Roberts

We look forward to seeing you there.
