Following the Soul of WoMen initiative’s highly successful launch in Tokyo and the European conference in 2016 with speaker Mhairi Black MP, this year’s Soul of WoMen Conference conference at Allanton World Peace Sanctuary in Dumfries and Galloway
June 23, 2018 9.30am-5.30pm Topic: ‘How can we create a more balanced world, wherein qualities within us all are working in harmony?’ aims to inspire and support everyone to explore ways of co-creating a more balanced world.
Soul of WoMen Europe 2018 is thrilled to announce an exciting line up of three influential change-makers who will be speaking about important transformational work which is bringing powerful healing in the world:
Rika Saionji, Vice President of Allanton World Peace Sanctuary. A Steiner educator and teacher of core values embedded in the prayer: ‘May peace prevail on earth’, taught to her by her grandfather, The World Peace Prayer Society founder Masahisa Goi.
Alastair McIntosh, Writer, Academic and Activist. Author of the influential 2001 book “Soil and Soul; people versus corporate power”. http://www.alastairmcintosh.com
Lesley Howells, Centre Head of Maggie’s Dundee. Maggie’s centres are cancer care centres which aim to help everybody affected by cancer. They are based on the philosophy of the late Maggie Jencks, from Portrack, who believed that no one should lose the joy of living when dying. http://www.maggiescentres.org/our-centres/maggies-dundee/
Allanton World Peace Sanctuary director Caroline Uchima said: “All over the world, ‘Soul of WoMen’ is bringing people together to work on creating a better world through the balance of masculine and feminine energies- replacing “competition” with “collaboration” and transforming global consciousness by emphasising qualities like nurture, insight and compassion.”
Soul of WoMen is supported by UNESCO Director-General, Irvina Bokova, who said: “I wish to commend you for this inspiring initiative, Soul of WoMen Global Campaign, which will gather individuals committed to building world peace on values of empathy and mutual respect.”
We are extremely grateful to our sponsors. The conference has been made possible thanks to the generosity of Harry Styles Live On Tour 2018 (https://hstyles.co.uk/ tpwk), the Holywood Trust, and Foundation Scotland.
Thanks to funding from The Holywood Trust we have been able to run an exciting internship programme to support six interns in events management, marketing, gardening and food preparation. The programme links the conference into Scotland’s ‘Year of Young People’.
Information on the event: Soul of WoMen 2018 is a change-making conference for the global community that will explore the question of harmonising masculine and feminine energies through a series of fascinating talks, interactive workshops, and group discussions. Soul of WoMen Conference aims to provide people with skills which they can use after the event for their own personal development, and to empower people to affect change and achieve balance in their own communities and the wider world. There will be an opportunity to actively participate in reflective rebalancing activities led by local and international experts in a holistic range of fields.
