The participants arrived either on Friday evening, Saturday morning, or Saturday afternoon, and departed this European metropole in shifts, the last car leaving for Dresden on Monday afternoon. Consequently, everyone had a very special experience, with they made into their own by dining in “Little Italy”, or visiting the European Parliament. Interludes of rain and sunshine accompanied each participant, and added to the charm of Brussels!
The Holiday Inn Garden Court lay in the vicinity of the Atomium, and was a perfect surrounding for this venue. Colette Cunningham, Pres., WFWP-Belgium, and Ingrid Lindemann, Pres., WFWP-Germany spoke.
The Bridge of Peace Ceremony was gracefully carried out, and entertainment was presented by Heidi Wakayama, from Neuss, Germany, and her son and daughter, on the keyboards, viola, and flute, respectively.
Sixteen sisters pairs were created, two of which were from the younger generation, and four men became brothers, making two male pairs. The guests joined in this bonding of hearts and souls, an eternal bonding of the spirit!
The german participants dined with Colette, and her husband, Aidan, at a lovely thai-vietnamese restaurant. The night was mild, the music latin, and suddenly we were all as one, in European unity – a unity of heart, soul, and spirit!
