An ever-expanding web is spreading fast… a web entangling all. A web of fear, anger, hatred, distrust, greed … Unending seems the list.
Oh, so elusive harmony & peace! Where to find solace, how to make sense, how to balance, how to centre, to align, to find hope, find peace…
Conceived & Produced By Banyan Tree
