You are invited to become part of a group, aiming to encourage friendship across creed, culture and tradition; an opportunity to participate in building new community; and a chance to share questions and discoveries (in a safe space) as we reflect on our own tradition /transition?

  • What is our knowledge, expectations of ourselves and the different creeds, cultures and traditions around us?
  • What are our questions about the culture; the faith tradition; the belief-system we or our neighbours represent?
  • What are your own challenges and your own experiences about great moments and complex challenges of your / some else’s beliefs?
  • We aim to work with the concept of respecting all questions and answers while we take time to get to know the similarities and differences we share.
  • Conversations will take place in a safe space where we can all listen and learn from another.
  • A meal will be available for purchase each time for $10 (please feel free to donate more towards those refugees in strife who have lost their Centrelink income).
