       Part of the Coventry Peace Festival 2025

       

      🕊️ A Walk for Peace and Connection

      What if stories could bring people closer, heal divisions, and inspire hope?
      This November, Emerald Book Club invites you to experience just that at Red House Park, Coventry, as part of the Coventry Peace Festival 2025.

       

       

      Red house park emeraldbookclub.org

      Stories of Peace: A Community Storytelling Walk in the Park will offer residents a calm, creative, and inclusive space to connect, reflect, and celebrate Coventry’s identity as a City of Peace and Reconciliation.

      The event encourages people from diverse backgrounds to come together outdoors, share personal stories, listen to others, and build mutual understanding. Through storytelling and poetry, participants will explore themes of peace, forgiveness, and unity in a way that strengthens empathy and social cohesion.

      This activity promotes mental wellbeing by combining gentle movement, nature, and creative expression. It will also help reduce isolation by creating opportunities for conversation, friendship, and intergenerational connection in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

      By fostering dialogue and respect through the shared power of words, Stories of Peace will strengthen community spirit and highlight the importance of peace and reconciliation in everyday life.

      📖 Discover the Power of Shared Stories

      Our event, Stories of Peace, is more than just a walk — it’s a journey through words, voices, and shared experiences.

      As we stroll through the park’s peaceful paths, local storytellers and poets will share powerful tales and poems about peace, forgiveness, and unity.
      Each stop along the walk will open a window into how storytelling connects us all — across generations, cultures, and communities.

      💚 Be Part of Something Meaningful

      Imagine spending an afternoon surrounded by nature, listening to stories that warm the heart and spark reflection.

      Whether you want to listen, share, or simply be part of a peaceful moment, Stories of Peace is for you.
      Together, we’ll celebrate Coventry’s proud legacy as a City of Peace and Reconciliation — and remind ourselves of the beauty found in every voice.

      Poems About Peace

      Making Peace by Denise Levertov

      A voice from the dark called out,
                   ‘The poets must give us
      imagination of peace, to oust the intense, familiar
      imagination of disaster. Peace, not only
      the absence of war.’
                                         But peace, like a poem,
      is not there ahead of itself,
      can’t be imagined before it is made,
      can’t be known except
      in the words of its making,
      grammar of justice,
      syntax of mutual aid.
                                             A feeling towards it,
      dimly sensing a rhythm, is all we have
      until we begin to utter its metaphors,
      learning them as we speak.
                                                    A line of peace might appear
      if we restructured the sentence our lives are making,
      revoked its reaffirmation of profit and power,
      questioned our needs, allowed
      long pauses . . .
                              A cadence of peace might balance its weight
      on that different fulcrum; peace, a presence,
      an energy field more intense than war,
      might pulse then,
      stanza by stanza into the world,
      each act of living
      one of its words, each word
      a vibration of light—facets
      of the forming crystal.

      Peace Walk by William Stafford

      We wondered what our walk should mean,
      taking that un-march quietly;
      the sun stared at our signs— “Thou shalt not kill.”
      Men by a tavern said, “Those foreigners . . .”
      to a woman with a fur, who turned away—
      like an elevator going down, their look at us.
      Along a curb, their signs lined across,
      a picket line stopped and stared
      the whole width of the street, at ours: “Unfair.”
      Above our heads the sound truck blared—
      by the park, under the autumn trees—
      it said that love could fill the atmosphere:
      Occur, slow the other fallout, unseen,
      on islands everywhere—fallout, falling
      unheard. We held our poster up to shade our eyes.
      At the end we just walked away;
      no one was there to tell us where to leave the signs.

      Peace by George Herbert

      Sweet Peace, where dost thou dwell? I humbly crave,
      Let me once know.
      I sought thee in a secret cave,
      And ask’d, if Peace were there,
      A hollow wind did seem to answer, No:
      Go seek elsewhere.

      I did; and going did a rainbow note:
      Surely, thought I,
      This is the lace of Peace’s coat:
      I will search out the matter.
      But while I looked the clouds immediately
      Did break and scatter.

      Then went I to a garden and did spy
      A gallant flower,
      The crown-imperial: Sure, said I,
      Peace at the root must dwell.
      But when I digged, I saw a worm devour
      What showed so well.

      At length I met a rev’rend good old man;
      Whom when for Peace

      I did demand, he thus began:
      There was a Prince of old
      At Salem dwelt, who lived with good increase
      Of flock and fold.

      He sweetly lived; yet sweetness did not save
      His life from foes.
      But after death out of his grave
      There sprang twelve stalks of wheat;
      Which many wond’ring at, got some of those
      To plant and set.

      It prospered strangely, and did soon disperse
      Through all the earth:
      For they that taste it do rehearse
      That virtue lies therein;
      A secret virtue, bringing peace and mirth
      By flight of sin.

      Take of this grain, which in my garden grows,
      And grows for you;
      Make bread of it: and that repose
      And peace, which ev’ry where
      With so much earnestness you do pursue,
      Is only there.

      Peace Poem by Alan Robertson

       

      The Poem for Peace

       

      Lay down the poppies let the white doves fly,

      We all pray for peace is the new battle cry.

       

      Heavy gun fire comes down overhead,

      This never should happen as this shall be said.

       

      Those guns and bullets that take all our young,

      We all cry for peace let this song be sung.

       

      Let’s lay down the guns, let’s lay down all arms,

      So these noble young men can return to their cities and farms.

       

      Peace now and forever is the new battle cry,

      Repeating these words until the day I shall die.

       

      A . W . Funston – Robertson

      Let Peace Prevail In This World by Ravi Sathasivam

      When you look for peace
      then the peace lies within you
      When you search for peace
      then it is not hard to find
      When you want to keep peace alive
      then you allow white doves to fly over you
      When you make peace with others
      then the whole world live in your heart
      When you let peace be in the world
      then you live in wonderful world
      When you allow peace flow around the world
      then your hateness will go and love will flow
      When you open the door for peace
      then peace welcome to your lives.
      Let the peace prevail in our wonderful world

      Celebrating Peace in Coventry: The Coventry Peace Festival 2025

      Coventry peace festival 2025

      The Roots of Peace

      Every November, the city of Coventry pauses to remember. The Coventry Peace Festival marks not only the anniversary of the devastating Blitz of 14 November 1940, but also celebrates the city’s ongoing commitment to peace, reconciliation and community renewal. This year—on the 85th anniversary—it holds a special resonance: the festival emphasises Coventry’s resilience, cultural creativity and role as a “City of Peace and Reconciliation”.

      The official festival website describes the event as a “programme of public events and activities that promote peace, unity, understanding and positive community relationships.”

      Its Influence and Impact

      Over the years, the Coventry Peace Festival has grown in both scale and purpose. Key features of the 2025 programme include:

      • A monumental installation inspired by Coventry Cathedral, comprising 1,300 cardboard boxes crafted by local residents—a powerful symbol of memory, hope and communal creativity.
      • The Lord Mayor’s Peace Lecture, delivered by Mandy Sanghera OBE on 6 November, exploring her work with victims of honour-based violence and cultural abuse.
      • A diverse programme of walks, workshops, exhibitions and performances—offered free of charge—inviting Coventry’s inhabitants and visitors to reflect together, learn together and build stronger connections.

      The practical community impact is significant. These events:

      • strengthen inter-faith, inter-cultural and inter-generational dialogue
      • provide accessible creative and mental-wellbeing activities in shared public spaces
      • remind the city of its legacy while inviting a future of active peace-making

      Join Emerald Book Club

      As part of this year’s festival, the Emerald Book Club is proud to present Stories of Peace: A Community Storytelling Walk in the Park. This event is rooted directly in the festival’s themes of peace and reconciliation.

      By choosing to gather in Red House Park and offering a walk that intersperses live storytelling, poems and open-mic sharing, we are:

      • promoting togetherness and listening in a relaxed outdoor environment
      • creating a safe space for participants to reflect on peace, forgiveness and unity
      • connecting ours to Coventry’s broader story of resilience, recovery and hope

      Why this Matters

      Our involvement is more than just an event—it’s a contribution to Coventry’s identity. Through the Emerald Book Club’s walk:

      • Local voices will be heard—those of poets, storytellers and community members alike
      • Public space becomes an active site of inclusion and cultural exchange
      • Attendance and interaction nurture the festival’s goal of cultivating positive community relationships around peace

      Emerald Book Club – World Mental Health Day 2025

      Emerald Book Club – World Mental Health Day 2025

      by | Oct 10, 2025 | Community Events, Emerald Book Club, Events

      🌿 Emerald Book Club – World Mental Health Day 2025

      Theme: Love Yourself, Accept Yourself
      Date: 10 October 2025

      At Emerald Book Club, we believe that books are more than stories — they’re safe spaces. They heal, comfort, inspire, and remind us that we are not alone in our journeys.

      On this World Mental Health Day, we take a moment to celebrate the power of reading as a tool for emotional wellness and self-discovery.

      💚 Books and Mental Health: A Beautiful Connection

      Reading allows us to step into different worlds, understand new perspectives, and process our own emotions through the words of others. Whether it’s a poem that reflects how we feel, a novel that gives us escape, or a memoir that reminds us of resilience — reading nurtures the mind and soothes the soul.

      Through shared stories, we find healing, empathy, and connection — the very foundations of mental wellness.

      🌱 How Emerald Book Club Supports Wellbeing

      📚 Safe Conversations: Our book discussions offer a judgment-free zone for members to share their thoughts and emotions.
      💬 Poetic Mondays & Reading Circles: These creative spaces help members express themselves and feel heard.
      🤝 Community Connection: Through reading, we build friendships and reduce isolation — one story at a time.
      🌸 Mindful Reading Choices: We often explore uplifting, empowering, and reflective books that inspire self-acceptance and growth.

      🌻 Our Message Today:

      Take care of your mind as you would your favorite book — gently, with patience and love.
      It’s okay to pause, reflect, and rest.
      It’s okay to seek help and share your story.
      Every chapter of your life matters — and you are the author of your healing. 💚

      📖 Join the Movement

      This week, we invite our members and readers everywhere to:

      • Share a book that helped them through a difficult time
      • Read something that brings peace and hope
      • Write a few words or a poem about self-love and mental wellbeing

      Together, let’s remind each other that stories heal — and that through reading, we can learn to love ourselves and accept ourselves.

      💚 Happy World Mental Health Day from Emerald Book Club 💚
