Tue 13th 6.30pm-9pm	GreenSpirit Climate Week Spoke Event GreenSpirit Greater Manchester are hosting a special meeting as a spoke event to the Manchester Low Carbon Conference. Our emphasis at GreenSpirit is to connect with the land, neighbourhood and the wider universe, and during this gathering we will explore what makes us change our behaviour. We will start the evening with a bring-and-share supper so please bring along either a vegan or vegetarian dish to share. During the session we will be exploring our own lives, and what has brought about the changes we have made over the years. We will then go on to explore how we can share this experience with others to help each other on our low carbon journeys. We invite you to bring along something which means something to them when you think about our planet -this could be a photo, object, poem, reading or anything else which you would like to bring. The discussions from our workshop will be fed directly into the main conference later in the week. Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester  M2 5NS
