On World Peace Day, you’re invited to join us for a soul-stirring gathering that weaves together "labour of love" music with inspiring personal stories, poetry and reflections on the themes of kindness, gratitude, love and service.

It's said "the longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches from your head to your heart," and Nimesh Patel (affectionately known as "Nimo") has quietly walked that path through his life's journey. From an Ivy League education to working on Wall Street to burgeoning fame as an MTV rap star to spending five transformational years volunteering in the slums of Ahmedabad, India, Nimo has traversed both the well-worn path to "success" as well as a "road less traveled". Along the way, Nimo has explored what it means to serve -- working with a group of 16 slum children in India to produce a globally-toured dance-drama show called Ekatva, which shared Gandhi's message of oneness.

In 2013, Nimo reconnected to his roots of music and is offering his gift of love, peace and oneness through Empty Hands Music. Following his past three worldwide tours, which he calls pilgrimages, Nimo's gracing the shores of London in mid-September once again to share his love and messages with the community here!

All of Empty Hands' music and events are offered freely as gifts -- there is no cost to attend the gatherings and you can download the entire album online.

If you RSVP and are no longer able to attend, please remember to cancel using the cancellation link in your confirmation email so that we can make that space available to others.
