Sunday for the Soul

[shirin talwar]

Dear all - here's the plan - a summary msg will be sent to your phones later for those of you who will be squinting at your bbs/iphones for the address on sunday morning.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!

Also let us know if we have missed anyone - and main thing is if you can eat a bit of brek before coming so you don't start rumbling during the workshop that would be nice - as organic snacks at 11am.
