Dear FriendWe are going into the dark times my friends -
The leaves fall in crumpled carpets at our feet,
The light dwindles,
As the year burns to a glowing ember.
We can create magic in the dark times my friends -
Each one of us a light on the gossamer web of life,
We kindle sparks
As life burns slow, dark and deep.🌹 🎶

🌹🎶Soft Diplomacy
"You walk out and your heart's a bit more open"
In the latest episode of Vocal Revolution, Wallee McDonnell of Celebrate Life Events, reflects on how music can bring people together across conflict and shares an invitation to
The Power to Change documentary, which premieres at The Ritzy Cinema, Brixton on 10th November.
"inside of everyone is art... a lid needs to be lifted off and encouraged."
- Wallee McDonnellDrawing on many years working in music and social justice settings including
Amnesty, Refugee Council, Skyros and
St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation, Wallee shares many inspiring stories of how music can touch and draw out a deeper connection within us. He reminds us that it is a matter of the heart to stay connected to our shared humanity and that through the arts we can soothe loneliness, soften barriers and lift the lid on hidden talents.

- Wallee McDonnellWallee gives us a sneak preview of the documentary
The Power to Change which follows the journey of four Londoners who, faced with tremendous challenges, find the strength to make new choices and rebuild their lives. Celebrating the value of life and the power to choose happiness over revenge, violence, and heartbreak, the documentary sounds incredibly inspiring and I can't wait to see it.
