Green Creation 

I really admire the work of LINE (London Islamic Network for the Environment) & St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace.

They are now organising a second 'Fast for the Planet' on 22 March '09

Venue: St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation & Peace, 78 Bishopsgate, London. EC2N 4AG. (Nearest tube: Liverpool Street). (Click to view map)

If you prefer community over corporate domination; simplicity over consumerism; economic systems that are real over ones that are fictitious, then this is for you!
With a destabilising climate, and an economy in crisis it's clear we need deeper, more joined up solutions. 'Fast for the Planet'draws together a range of supporting values that include the inner (e.g. through fasting), the economic, and community, and weaves them together into a more coherent whole. The experience is fun, empowering, challenging and purposeful! Includes: reflective exercises; choice of workshop:

- Debt-free Home Finance, with Tarek El Diwany (Author, 'The Problem with Interest);
- A very brief introduction to Permaculture: Nicole Freris (Naturewise);

- Sharing Stories & Poetry:'New Perspectives Emerging as Story', with Peter Challen (Christian Council for Monetary Justice),

plus a talk on

- Forms of Activism by Derek Wall (Green Political Campaigner);

The event will also be ending fast together. The wider event will be facilitated by: Muzammal Hussain (LINE), Helen Gilbert (St Ethelburga's) and Olufemi Hughes (Community Dialogue for Change - CDC).
