Richmond Alliance for a New Humanity celebrates
Year of Rumi with Music, Poetry and Art
March 8, 2007
The Alliance for a New Humanity will
celebrate the Year of Rumi (2007) with a magical combination of poetry, art and
music at the Parish Rooms, (upstairs from La Buvette), George Street, Richmond
between 2.30-4.30pm on March 10, 2007.
The 13th century mystical Persian poet,
Rumi, is one of the most widely read poets in the world. His wonderful message
of love speaks to the heart, transcending boundaries of language and time.
Varying from stern to ecstatic, from everyday to intoxicating, from humorous to
exhilarating, Rumi offers profound wisdom and insights which provide a feast for
the spirit.
The March ‘Satsang’ (gathering) will
feature a breathtaking blend of poetry, art, and music. Inspirational
Storyteller Gloria Shiana Betts will bring Rumi’s poetry to life, whilst
talented flautist Paul Cheneour will express Rumi’s soul through a beautiful and
haunting rendition on flute. During this moving performance, Spiritual artist
Mandy Brown, who creates artwork directly from Source, will create a work of art
inspired by this uplifting experience.

The UK Chapter of the Alliance holds
regular Satsangs (gatherings) in Richmond on the 2nd Saturday of each
month.
The group is part of the
global Alliance
for a New Humanity, which was founded by leading author Dr Deepak Chopra and 11
other visionaries. The Alliance’s key objective is to create a new humanity of
a world at peace, where kindness and compassion reigns, human rights are upheld,
and environmental eco-systems are repaired and sustained.
To achieve this, the Alliance is
connecting leading ‘Conversation Leaders’, including caring communities, groups
and individuals, at a global level, to build a powerful united force able to
bring about global change.
“Change is generated from consciousness”,
says Deepak Chopra. “If we act collectively, as an alliance, our strength comes
from critical mass. We are here to evolve as individuals,” he continues, “and
then to spread that influence. I am committed to inspiring the first million
people to join this movement.”
The fundamental principle of the Alliance
is a consciousness based on the concept that everything in life is connected,
and therefore our well-being is linked to the well-being of all. Its key focus
is to invite participants to connect, communicate, inspire and support at grass
roots levels to create a new humanity supported of a world at peace.
The Alliance is supported by a growing list of world
renowned humanitarians, Nobel Peace laureates, authors, musicians, and artists,
including internationally acclaimed performing artists Annie Lennox and Olivia
Newton-John.
