Festival What's On Today
From Saturday 28 February – Sunday 15 March 2009 the 6th Annual Edinburgh International Festival of Middle Eastern Spirituality and Peace, MESP 2009, will bring together people from a wide range of spiritual backgrounds, people working with peace, conflict, reconciliation and justice, educators, teachers, scholars and students, people from artistic and cultural backgrounds, people working with health, wellbeing and healing experiences and concerns, people from diverse cultures, traditions and communities, and people from across Scotland and internationally.
More generally, everyone participates in an individual and non-representative capacity, to allow people to draw upon their own unique individual experiences and to share their unique visions and perspectives, and people of all backgrounds who respect the Festival ethos are warmly invited to participate in this spiritual, educational, artistic and cultural and international festival which celebrates peace and mutual understanding.
There will also be externally organised pre events from Thursday 19 February – Friday 27 February 2009, and a Middle Eastern Film Festival at the Filmhouse from Saturday 31 January - Thursday 19 February 2009, and there will be exhibitions and displays from Saturday 17 January – Monday 16 March 2009 at venues across Edinburgh.
