Spend a morning at The Well listening to the wisdom of Bishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama as they explore together sources of joy and hope that they have found in the midst of their personal suffering and the struggles of their peoples and nations.

With time afterwards for reflection, sharing our own thoughts, and discussion about finding joy and hope in our own troubled times and those of our world.
Bishop Desmond and the Dalai Lama shared a deep personal friendship and love which crossed the divides of race, culture, class and faith. This film is full of their joy, humour and compassion, their laughter and tears.

Refreshments provided.

"In each of us, there is an innate ability to create joy out of suffering, to find hope in the most hopeless of situations, and to heal any relationship in need of healing". Bishop Desmond Tutu

"Every day, think as you wake up, 'I am fortunate to be alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it'" Dalai Lama
