Place: Around the World
Time: Up to individuals
The Event is something of a
spiritual Spring Cleaning for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere; to
take the opportunity for releasing
the pain and conflict of the past; to
re-connect with our inner wisdom and powers of healing; to come into reconciliation with
ourselves and others with whom we may have lost our peace; to free ourselves from feeling victim to

and shame and walk into the power of our loving Spirit.

Date not set
There will be another jazz concert
in March. The Tucson Jazz Society
has been a proud and hard-working co-sponsor of the Season. This concert will be dedicated to
raising funds to bring a major speaker to Tucson this year or early next year. Dr. Jampolski and Arun Gandhi have
both already stated an interest in coming.
Dr. Jampolski would speak on forgiveness, and Mr. Gandhi would give us
personal insights about his grandfather's life and principles. I am hoping to talk Rev. Melinda Nay
into organizing an even bigger musical event like the one we had in July,
including this time people from many different faiths. We might ask one of the larger Tucson
churches for space. This event
might take place probably early February. We
will need to raise about $4000 total, I believe, through these two events and
other fundraisers. Organizations
working in peace and justice may have table space to promote their work at these
events, and financial sponsorships will be recognized in the program with small
ads designed by the organization or by us.
