Events


The Communities of Practice was founded on the basis of community connection. The beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020 saw a global move to Zoom, highlighting the necessity of nourishing human interactions, in whatever way they may be accessible. Over its few years the Community has shape-shifted and grown to address the ever-changing world in which we find ourselves and so a number of events, regular and occasional, have been held to meet the needs of our community and the world at large.

The Power of the Mind

We often seek external solutions to the problems faced in the modern world.  And yet the answers to challenges such as isolation, fear and inequality could lie elsewhere – internally, in the mind.


Connections: The Power of the Gift
