At some point in our lives, we all suffer from illnesses of the body or the mind and we face tests and difficulties. This collection highlights resources dedicated to physical and spiritual health and well-being, healing, resilience and overcoming challenges.
In this Baha’i Blog production, we go behind the scenes and take a look at ‘Soul Food’ in Melbourne, Australia, a unique monthly event open to the public and held in the State Library of Victoria.
Soul Food provides an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to come together and to unite in a tranquil environment while reflecting on inspiring themes and common threads that tie us all together. It features live music, audio-visual pieces and readings from faiths and philosophers, authors, leaders and indigenous cultures, from all over the world.
The purpose of Soul Food is to inspire us to transform our lives, our neighbourhoods and communities, with actions that promote the unity and betterment of society.
Soul Food is also happening in the following Australian locations: Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Hobart, Perth and now also running in Ballarat (Victoria), Geelong (Victoria), and also in Charlottetown (Canada), Gaborone (Botswana) and San Clemente California (USA).
You can find out more about Soul Food by visiting their website.
