Dear Merry Family,
For those of you on this beautiful planet who may be in or around the region of Hannover soon, you’re invited to join us for some magical meaningful, gatherings.
✨ On September 17th
A dear friend and Buddhist nun, the Venerable Ayya Dhammakippa will be speaking about Buddhism and her journey at the The Pavilion, Hannover. Details here.
✨ On September 19th

You’re welcome join us for an intimate gathering called Voices of Compassion.
Through music and conversation, we will bring together voices from Sanatan Dharma, Christian and Sufi mystical traditions and reflect on a simple but important question:
What place does compassion have in our world today?
Perhaps more than ever, compassion is not something merely to speak about. It is something to live — in how we see one another, how we listen, how we disagree, how we respond to suffering, and in the choices we make when nobody is watching.
I will be sharing the evening with Persian musician and composer Mehdi Aminian and Preist of the Christian Community Felicia Holland, accompanied by classical music and moderation from Anna-Sophie Brüning.
19 September 2026 · 5–7 pm
The Christian Community, Ellernstraße 44, Hannover

(And any of you who might happen to be attending the UNFINISHED multidisciplinary community festival in Bucharest, the following week, I’ll see you there!)
