Blooming Tasmania: Launceston Flower & Garden Festival

Blooming Tasmania is again holding their Flower and Garden Festival in Launceston the weekend of September 22nd/23rd at Albert Hall.
We will be attending, manning a stand named 'Gardens for Peace & the Soul' (stand 27).
Maybe you never imagined a garden in this sense, but a  garden is a beautiful space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, or enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature; for me a garden can be body, mind or spirit in the sense of what brings inner peace and contentment.
 What gardens do you cultivate in your life?
The World Peace Flag Ceremony
Is a global celebration of the oneness of life and the human family; with united hearts and minds, participants of the Ceremony are invited to invoke prayers for peace to prevail in the countries and regions of the world. It is a moving ceremonial ritual rising above national boundaries, religion and ideologies giving expression to the universal wish for peace and harmony which lies at the core of every human heart
Join us on Sunday September 23rd 3-4pm City Park if fine (Conservatory if wet) as we share in a World Peace Flag Ceremony, honouring all nations of the world


ALL WELCOME from youngest to oldest; anyone can join in at any time
YOU become a representative for the country whose flag you are carrying
Please pour joy, happiness and goodwill into that country as you carry their flag
The purpose of the Prayer and Flag Ceremony is to commune as one in the spirit of the Universal Message and Prayer, ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth’ and to send your energetic words, thoughts and prayers for peace to prevail on Earth.
Presented by the Gardens for Peace Team

MANDALA WRITING
Write your own Mandala       




Written Mandalas of bright words and gratitude to nature; a path to inner peace, calm and world peace
A written mandala is made up of a number of concentric circles, inside which bright, positive, meaningful words are written. As we write words of love, gratitude, peace and harmony, the power of those words is poured into the mandala. The process of writing the words heals and revitalises us.
Mandalas encourage creativity and imagination. They are an inspiring, limitless tool, for creating peace, understanding, and healing.
