November Green Screen

October Green Screen was a hit with a good sized audience and an inspiring film. Thanks to those of you who came along!We watched ‘Fierce Light’ and we highly recommend it for its beauty and insight into what happens when Love is in Action,  or in other words, when Spiritually meets Activism.

Stay tuned for details on this month’s film to be shown on Saturday 27th  November at the Grey Lynn Community Centre.
It’ll be our last Green Screen for 2010!
