readings, talks, discussions and other events
The aim of this project is to inspire us to end all wars.
The stories and in the future this website, will provide some ideas and tools to do so.
Availability
I am available for readings, talks, discussions and other events in these periods of time:
15 September – 15 November 2025
In July & August 2025 some events might be possible, connecting THE END OF ALL WARS with the CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE. For more on that see my overview website: www.charlie-alice-raya.org
Options for readings of planet one, the roots of war
Option 1: the beginning of the story (until: we must be bloody thinkers), the bird and debunking the narrative of predator & prey (until gamble for power), and The story of empowerment
Option 2: arriving in the hiding place, what is war, parts of the campaign to end all wars
Option 3: relationships, sexuality, nudity, gender
Option 4: debunking predator & prey and everything that follows on nature & coexisting
Option 5: The story of empowerment, for a short reading which allows for a longer discussion
Option 6: What is war? How can we end all wars?, also a shorter reading with more room for discussions
Option 7: Snippets and some minutes to discuss each snippet
Option 8: More planets, bits and pieces from different planet stories, and why there are so many planets in the collection
The longer readings are timed around 90 min plus 30-60 min for discussions and questions.
The shorter ones can be adjusted flexibly.

Locations
Theoretically anywhere. However, I’d like to keep flying to a minimum, and I would like to avoid zigzagging. My personal flying policy is presently that I only fly when I can’t reach a destination within 24 hours by train.
Since I presently work on easy town book 4, which is set in England, I would give England, neighbouring countries and English-speaking countries a preference right now.
