Are you interested in sharing your thoughts and in contributing to the development of Beshara? We are excited to invite you to a series of four fortnightly online Open Meetings launching in January 2025.
Inspired by the feedback from our recent AGM, 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.
The Meeting is open to all, 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.
Facilitators: Hugh Tollemache and Elizabeth Roberts
We look forward to seeing you there over these two months.
If you have any queries or for more information, please contact: friendsofbeshara@gmail.com
