are bold enough to love it,
acts through us. ~Joanna

Friday 6 September : Message From
The Tibetans
Supplied by Warby’s dear Father Michael, who
spent 30 years searching for a copy of this
documentary, this extraordinary film contains rare
footage of Tibetans, monks and Tibet’s foremost
masters of the mid-20th Century. For the first time
the Dalai Lama allowed filming of the heart of
Tibetan traditions and reveals sacred
understanding of Buddhism while also blowing
away our western perceptions of Tantrism. Not to
be missed!

24. A community group coming together with the aim of making Warburton a
self-sufficient, resilient, generous and delicious town.
This is a group designed to connect people in the area interested in creating
community food gardens around Warburton.
The idea has been inspired by towns in the UK that have done this successfully.
The essence of this idea is that the food growing around the community
is available for anyone to pick and eat, whether they are part of this
group or not.
