Join us for some "time out" during this Season of Peace that always gets so paradoxically hectic. The day-long workshop will include guided nature-connection exercises, media presentations, poetry, and some quiet surprises. It will be a time of gentle discovery, and you'll end the day centered and prepared to maintain your peace and your spiritual focus in the midst of the upcoming weeks of busy-ness and distraction. |

He decided to ask visionary people from around the world, from various age groups and backgrounds, the (not-so) simple questions: "What is your hope for the future? What is your vision of a peaceful world?" |

“Thin space” refers to a place, or state, in which there is only the thinnest of veils between oneself and God/Divine Mystery. A person who experiences this space is less likely to have to denigrate the beliefs of others in order to affirm one’s own. Co-sponsored by PAX 2100 and Stillpoint: The Center for Christian Spirituality, the course explores participants’ experiences of Thin Space, in relation to the encounters between different traditions and cultures.
