Our second Open House Event with the theme ‘New Roots’ took place on Sunday 26th July 2020. We were very pleased that a Syrian classical guitarist living locally was able to take part in this event. By popular request we had a presentation on Palestinian Dabke dance and a video presentation on Palestinian hospitality. We again had a session of participatory art, this time using the imagery of trees and roots. Here is a picture produced by one of the participants inspired by the event:

Again, this was a wonderfully warm and connecting event, and here is some of the feedback we received:

“Joining the spirit of peace event gives me hope for a good future where people feel a deep commitment to people beyond family, tribe, immediate community, nation etc. the event was profound” (Open House: New Roots participant)
