"The Spirit of Peace Building"
|
The teleseminar series is designed to serve as a training resource for you to create weekly programs in your spiritual center or community, as well as a source of information for your own education.
Participants will have access to:
• Ten 90-minute programs: dialogues with Peace Councilors followed by roundtable discussion panels
• Recorded downloadable audio files of each week’s program to repeat in your local SNV group, or review at any time.
• Expert “handouts” on peace-building from the point of view of world spiritual leaders for educational use
• Unique Multimedia Offering: Produced by AGNT, nine short video collages with music on wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions. Structured around each week’s theme, these could begin your weekly dialogues as a silent meditation, or serve many other creative purposes.
• An enjoyable and profound shared weekly gathering with co-hosts, speakers, and your peers in the pursuit of greater cultural harmony through spirit, both locally and globally.
Here is what some of the participants in our last teleseries had to say about the experience:
“I have enjoyed every guest and the wonderful interaction between the participants. I have had the pleasure of being in the break out sessions with some of the same people a few times… Thank you all for this wonderful spiritually uplifting 10 weeks.”
~ Rev. Dr. Wanda Wainman
“Thank you for this amazing and informational series. I am so grateful for the way each guest has brought a different - but equally powerful - Light into focus.”
~ Tracy Brown
“Thank you, all of you who have put this amazing and wonderful seminar series together - it is truly invaluable. I am starting to put together a class that will incorporate all of the teleseminars!”
~ Judith Blaise
“I would just like to say once again how meaningful I'm finding this teleseminar. It continues to be a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of how different paths/religions approach the different topics, presented each week. And, connecting with others, through the break-out time, gives us the opportunity to share the different things we gleen or that resonate with us, both individually and then collectively. In both cases, the commonalities become clearer and clearer.”
~ Rev Michele Sevacko
“This call was wonderful and promises a thought provoking and enlightening series. I'm grateful for the theme underlying the presentation.”
~ Rev. Deborah Olive
“I thought this call was wonderful! I am so looking forward to the next one. Thanks Barbara for creating this, and the materials on the links are great. We will use them with our Y.O.U. (High school age group) and our team is working on some ways to use what we will learn as we interface with our area's Interfaith community.”
~ Rev. Julie Montague
“The four women with whom I was paired truly were enlightening. We all had a piece to add that enriched my current ideas around the topic and enhanced and opened a deeper clarity for me.”
~ Anonymous
"Although I missed the first two sessions of this series, I have been thoroughly delighted with the next six! I work 12 hour graveyard shifts, and some of these sessions have been an interruption to the sleep I get during the day. However, they have been worth that loss!"
~Leslie Kaye
“ I have found the experiences of the whole Course absolutely delightful and deeply meaningful. Originally it seemed to present each religion separately—and I so appreciated the videos of the writings from different faiths on the same themes.. But the Course seemed to build with time and with speaking our own responses during the breakout sessions, until in the end I am honoring all religions and enriching my own religion with insights from others.”
~ Joan P. LaMontagne
“One thing that was really impressive was connecting us into small discussion groups by phone at the end of each session. I found myself speaking with people from other continents and across our own continent and learning great ways others were advancing tolerance and understanding.”
~ Rev. Amy Aspell
