A couple of very compelling events have popped up that I wanted to be sure to let all of you know about instead of waiting till my next summary blog.
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.

19 December – Blue Holiday Gathering Online – 5:00 PM Pacific Time
The Interfaith Chaplaincy Institute where I attended seminary is hosting this event where they acknowledge that “everything belongs”.
It will be a Blue Christmas/Solstice/Festival of Lights service, acknowledging that this season can be difficult for some of us.
I will be sharing a Dance of Universal Peace and there will be poetry, prayer, meditation, and music in this relatively short and sweet time together. All are welcome.
