A recipe for fondue...

At the close of this Caux conference season, and the last of the six conferences, ‘Developing Cultural Dialogue: Learning to Live Together with Difference’, Australia was honoured.

Some unexpected visitors...

We’re now into the final conference of the summer: ‘Developing Cultural Dialogue: Learning to Live Together with Difference’.

So this is my final blog from Mountain House. I have enjoyed my time here very much. The scenery is always an inspiration and the people are so varied and interesting, it is a great place to be.

After my previous attempt to scale the mountain was foiled by an unexpected thunderstorm I was apprehensive to try again as I did not want to stay up all night for nothing a second time.

‘When deep sorrow is felt by all the parties concerned, the process of forgiveness should enable the victims of historic injustices and their relatives to find their dignity and the potential of their contribution to humanity.’

The sub heading of the conference is ‘Can artists help to mend a broken world?’ The participants will ponder the role of art and artists in the 21st century, the impact they have and how they can use their skills to make a difference.

With various people coming to Caux there is always something to discover, something that can potentially change one’s life.

This is the transitional day between the ‘Tools for Change’ conference and ‘Renewal Arts’ which starts on Sunday.
