Friday 3 December – Sunday 5 December – Screening of Mission:Joy
This screening of MIssion:Joy, a deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny movie, has been arranged for the Ruhaniat Order and anyone else who is interested. In this wonderful film, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu share science-backed wisdom of how to live with joy in troubled times. You can find more details about the movie here: http://www.thefilmcollaborative.org/films/missionjoy
Check back here for details on where to watch our special screening of the movie with us or go to the Ruhaniat Calendar that will have details as soon as we receive them.
Tuesday 7 December – Spirituality in the 21st Century – 7-8:30 PM Pacific Time
A Monthly Forum Dedicated to Connection, Practice, and Renewal
Join us to explore how an array of spiritual practitioners are synthesizing traditional spiritual paths to meet the needs of our time. Each meeting features a guest who will introduce their
spiritual orientation and lead us in a practice. We will end with open dialogue and reflection. The purpose of these gatherings is to foster a sense of community and to revitalize and renew ourselves beyond a classroom setting.
Randy Morris, professor emeritus and founder of Spiritual Studies at AUS will guide our inaugural meeting.

Open to Antioch students, alumni, and anyone interested in sharing this experience.
15 December – Aramaic Lord’s Prayer- Part 1 – 7:30 PM Pacific Time
We will be offering the first half of the Aramaic Lord’s prayer.
When Jesus, or Yeshua in his own native language, was asked how to pray, the Aramaic words he offered, were far richer and denser in meaning than can be easily conveyed in English translation. We will be chanting those words, with multiple translations, and dancing the first half of the prayer, using movements that were inspired by movement practices of Middle Eastern mystics over the centuries.
Save the date. The Zoom link will be forthcoming!
