October
30, St. George's West Church, Edinburgh, Scotland:
The Caravan of Ancestors: A Shared Spirituality
of Peace for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Workshop,
10:30 am - 3:30 pm. As we near the annual celebration
of all saints and all souls days, this workshop
focuses on a spirituality that united the three
main religions of the Middle East and demonstrates
how early mystics, including Jesus may have
meditated. In spite of apparent differences,
all three religions originally shared an emphasis
on sacred beginnings and a vision of a living
caravan of ancestors. These ways of contemplation,
which were kept alive by the mystics of the
three traditions, seek to reclaim the life-affirming
energy of creation as an ongoing realtiy. The
workshopw will use meditation, chant, Dances
of Universal Peace and body prayer based on
the book The Genesis Meditations. Contact: Creative
