Poetry Peace Feast

We're returning to Bristol Folk House! Join us for an evening of storytelling, conversation and poetry featuring Bristol Poet Laureate Sukina Noor and restorative poet Leeza Awojobi. This is an invitation to share in food which nourishes the body and soul, exchange meaningful ideas and leave feeling energised for the wellbeing of your community. At Bridges for Communities, we love all things collective and have recently been thinking about the phrase 'It takes a Village'. We know it takes a village, but how to sustain one? This peace feast builds on a conversation we've been having in a more creative way. It explores the complex tension between the needs of the individual and the collective. It brings together storytelling and collaboration in a way which suggests rather than dictates, opening up fresh pathways for engaging across difference. For those feeling extra bold, come prepared to share your thoughts in an informal guided activity. Peace Feasts bring people together around a meal, to listen to music, exchange stories and hear from guest speakers. They celebrate local communities, help us to see the world through someone else's eyes, and create spaces for friendships to grow between people from different backgrounds and experiences of life.
