The filmnight this month has a money and business theme. If you've ever wondered where all the money goes, or if there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to earn it, spend it, and pay all the bills, there might be some vital information for you in one or more of the three films. As usual, there'll be two short films starting at 7.30 pm (don't be late), followed by a 20 minute tea and chat break before the main feature starts. And of course, there's more tea and chat afterwards for those who want to mingle.

This is entirely optional: we invite you to meditate on your heartfelt wish for well-being, peace and happiness for yourself and for all beings; breathing in love into your heart, breathing out love out from your heart; love for yourself, love for all beings. 18:30 to 18:40 - Optional sound bath: You can use any mantra or sound, for example, Om, Ah, Ong, Nah or any other sound that calls you personally.

This is an event open to everyone, all ages, from every path, experienced or not. Let us come together as One Community. This is a movement that our entire world is creating together as one unified force to set the momentum for the future of our planet! "If you are a Buddhist, please come. If you are a Christian please come. If you are Jewish, Muslim, or belong to or identify with any other religions, creed or peace organization, please come. We shall learn together that wrong perceptions of self and others
are at the foundation of separation, fear, hate, and violence; and that
togetherness and collaboration is possible." - Thich Nhat Hanh
- Filmnight: Money as Debt 3 - Evolution Beyond Money
(2011, 62 mins) - Saturday 20
July, 7.30 - 9.30 pm at Communicare, Quennevais Rd, St
Brelade. Paul Grignon's film presents an attractive picture of
how money could work in the future. It is full of surprising
specifics for creating a nurturing economy using technologies
that exist right now. It demonstrates in simple terms why our
primitive concept of money as a "single uniform commodity" is
a root cause of dysfunction and injustice. The film
illustrates in extensive and entertaining detail how a
fundamental change how a fundamental change in our long-held
concept of money, paired with recent breakthroughs in
technology, opens the door to a liberated, self-balancing
global "money" backed by real value and open to all. Preceded
by Heart in Business and What the Economic Crisis
Really Means, two short films with different but similar
takes on the same subject. Free teas and coffees. All welcome.

system for health and vitality. Gentle movements are linked to
the breath and the flow of Qi. Qi is the Chinese word for ''
life energy'' and Gong means ''work'' or ''benefits acquired
through perseverance and practice''. The exercises are

function at their optimum whilst increasing the level of
oxygen around the body. Maz has been practicing Qi Gong and
