Network for Peace

Focusing is a powerful method of inner enquiry that involves listening deeply to ourselves and sensing into what is present within us. It can be used to transform conflict, to gain a sense of direction or make a decision, as a coaching tool, or to aid the processes of turning a vision or idea into practical action, either individually or in a co-creative setting.

A certificated four day training course in coaching through personal or organisational conflict, for those with some prior coaching, counselling or 1:1 experience who are looking to add an effective new skill to their toolkit. Organisational rate - £625. Individual rate- £312.50.

Fusing the folk and urban traditions of her Zambian homeland with London’s eclectic music scene, Namvula blends African sounds and rhythms with Latin, jazz and folk into uplifting and emotive songs. Crossing boundaries with a refreshing honesty and evocative lyricism, Namvula’s music transports listeners into different worlds, whilst staying firmly rooted in African soil.

In these times of challenge and transition, what role do our inner lives play in social activism? Are the next generation bringing prayer and action together in new ways? What does faith or spirituality mean for younger people? Participatory dialogue with Adam Bucko, author of Occupy Spirituality, and Peter Owen-Jones, BBC 2's 'Extreme Pilgrim'.
