In response to the second Iraq war and to support Muslim women from Reading's diverse Newtown community (who feared prejudice from neighbours within their community), I created an ongoing project based around meditation.

Mothers from diverse faith and cultural backgrounds met once a week in silence to honour families in Iraq and around the world who were caught up in conflicts and to build a sense of solidarity.

This led to us offering the children in the local primary school contemplative events highlighting the school's global citizenship.
