Spirit of the Rainbow

Invites you to our meetings in Brighton

WE ARE ONE

Oneness means our first loyalty is to our humanity, above any country, religion or
ideology: humanity both in the sense of all human beings and also of human decency,
kindness, compassion. Oneness means we recognise we are part of nature and that we
treat our environment with reverence and respect. Oneness works too at a personal level
as we grow into a sense of wholeness. Oneness means we recognise that we are children
of our universe however we experience it.

OUR AIMS & ACTIVITIES:
Our aim is to awaken a sense of oneness in everyone

and it starts with ourselves.

We seek to support each other as we:
Deepen our experience of oneness

Spread our message locally and globally
Build a world based on oneness

Come and share your ideas!

Our next meetings are:

Wednesday 11th September & Wednesday 9th October

can guarantee it’s that your memories in
Brighton and Hove will stay with you for life,

grab an ice-cream or chips, but beware of
seagulls! Take a trip up the BA i360 to see
the spectacular views.

ROYAL PAVILION
Meet friends in the historical Pavilion
gardens to enjoy the sun and put your
ice-skating skills to the test in the winter
months - you’re bound to see us there,
clinging onto the edge!

LOCAL RESTAURANTS & SHOPS

up vintage treasures in the Laines.

SURROUNDING TOWNS

counties in the UK (well, we think so
anyway!). Take a trip to Eastbourne, Lewes
or other smaller towns to see more of the
countryside and enjoy a day out.

VIBRANT NIGHTLIFE
Brighton is famous for its quirky nightlife,
there is something for everybody. Have
fun in the wide range of pubs, bars and
clubs. Take advantage of all you can

all over the city, particularly during May at

Escape music festival.

SPORTS &
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

new like water-sports at Hove Lagoon,
the Yellowave volleyball courts or the
mini golf courses along the seafront.

Stadium and watch Brighton & Hove
Albion FC play. Go Seagulls!
