SUMMARY:Wild Goose Festival Presents Wisdom Camp 2019: New Seeds of Integration
DESCRIPTION:New Seeds of Integration: A Wide-Awake Contemplative Experience \n“Where there is no vision\, the people perish; but blessed are those who heed wisdom’s way.”\n— Proverbs 29:18 \nWisdom: A way of sensing\, seeing\, and perceiving the sometimes-hidden wholeness behind reality; greater conscious connections between Spirit\, self\, others\, and world. \nContemplative practices: Ways of exercising our Wisdom-perceiving muscles.  \nOur inner and outer landscapes are often constricted; our souls (soils) are tired. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies\,” Jesus said\, “it can only be a single seed. But if it dies\, it bears much fruit.” \nWhat is planted in the Adamah (אדמה) can stir life or death in the humus of humanity. What are we cultivating? \nThomas Merton wrote over 50 years ago in New Seeds of Contemplation: “To enter into the realm of contemplation\, one must in a certain sense die: but this death is in fact the entrance into a higher life. It is a death for the sake of life\, which leaves behind all that we can know or treasure as life\, as thought\, as experience\, as joy\, as being. Every form of intuition and experience die to be born again on a higher level of life.” \nThose of us yearning and working for a more loving\, equitable planet experience dying in many forms:  \nPolitical upheaval\, ecological devastation\, racial oppression\, social disintegration\, and spiritual despair.  \nHow can we continue working in our vital vocations — be we minister\, artist\, activist\, teacher\, parent — without depleting our soils or souls? \nIs it possible to slow down and nourish ourselves with what truly sustains\, even as we continue feeding others? \nIs it possible to marry our outer work with inner energy? \nAt Wisdom Camp\, we think so…and on the morning of the Wild Goose Festival launch\, we intend to spend a day together exploring these wisdom-ways of seeing\, these new seeds of integration! \nDrawing on time-tested streams of contemplative seeing — from the spirituality of Jesus\, the compost of Christianity\, interspiritual and trans-racial lineages of Buddhism and Quaker practice\, and more — this year’s Wisdom Camp brings us water from deep wells. \nJoin us as we set the table for: \n\nDivine communion\nGenuine play\nSeeing and being seen\nHealing silence\nResting in our bodies\nTelling better stories\n\nCome to this one-day celebration of contemplative practice\, resourcing you for the life you live the rest of the year! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Guides:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bollt\nLerita Coleman Brown\nBushi Yamato Damashii\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAline Deflglia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCassidy Hall\nMike Morrell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRainier Wylde\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck In for pre-festival events will be available on Wednesday from 1 pm to 5 pm\, and Thursday from 7am to 9 am.\nIf you’re tent camping\, there’s no additional campsite charge for Wednesday night.\nSome campsite locations are restricted due to large venue tent construction in several areas.\nRVr’s will need to purchase an additional night.

SUMMARY:Healthy and Holy: A 24-Hour Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the image of God in ourselves\, our bodies\, and our relationships – register here. \nWhat if you could take a day to ground in what’s real: \n\nFor your spiritual sensitivity\nFor your physical vitality\nFor your emotional vibrancy \nFor your relational harmony\n\nFor 24 hours in February\, we’ll spend time together diving into just such wisdom and experience. \nHealthy. \nWhile having the tools you need to be healthy might have been simple and straightforward a couple generations ago\, it’s not so simple in our modern world. Our processed foods\, our screens and devices\, our sedentary lifestyles\, and the chronic stress levels associated with modern life all make it difficult for us to access the good health that’s innate within us. The journey starts with understanding just a little bit about how your body works and some of the major issues that have interfered with your health in this generation. Innovative board certified family physician Dr. Gus Vickery offers us the knowledge\, orientation and actions we need to put health back into our own hands. \n \nHoly. \nHoliness – being ‘set apart’ and held as sacred – has a deep history in our planet’s spiritual traditions. In The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation\, Richard Rohr and Mike Morrell explored what it could mean to take God as relationship seriously\, and therefore take relationships as Divine seriously. Now\, Mike and seasoned Relational Skills facilitator David Bollt guide participants in a deep-dive exploration of seeing each other as living icons of the truly transcendent. Through a series of fun and interactive group exercises\, we explore individuality and interdependence\, and interplay between the present moment\, the stories we bear\, and our future-directed fears and hopes. In the process we get to know ourselves better and appreciate others more fully. Through “practicing the presence of people\,” we have the opportunity to do nothing less than see God in each other. \nHealthy and Holy is already at half capacity. We’d love to be with you – please register here.

SUMMARY:U Day: Land of Origins - World Interspiritual Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:My new friends at 1God.com and Monk for a Month are throwing a festival: U Day – short for Until That Day\, the name given to a stirring speech by Rastafarian inspiration Haile Selassie to the United Nations in 1963. Originally hosted by Buddhist monks in Thailand in 2012\, U Day returns\, this time to beautiful Addis Ababa\, Ethiopia. Presence will be there in full force! \n“The purpose of U DAY is to bring together artists\, activists\, spiritual leaders and entrepreneurs from across the globe – all who are working for the realization of universal spiritual values – peace\, justice\, hope\, and unity\,” their online hub explains. “By coming together with people of good-faith from all walks of life\, we support and nurture each other’s endeavors. We draw inspiration and energy from realizing that We Are Many – fighting the good fight\, each in their own arenas towards Peace & Progress on our planet. \nBy coming together to enjoy conscious positive music and to have Interspiritual communion with other like-minded people\, we grow stronger\, develop new connections and help to add power and momentum to the work at hand.” \nFebruary will be here before we know it\, and registration is available soon. Stay in touch with the latest on this inspiring global festival by downloading the free ‘digital mixtape’ of Grammy-nominated Reggae artist Pato Banton! \nPato and his wife Antoinette Rootsdawtah\, who also played the Wild Goose Festival this year\, are headlining U Day! Check out one of their recent collaborations\, Light Up The One Luv! with Kwadjo Spiri: \n \nLight up the one luv – we boldly representing/hope you get it.\nMove into the higher frequencies. My people back home and people living overseas.\nThe generation is ripe\, revelation is now.\nThe Fatherhood of Jah the brotherhood of man\nIt’s time\, to liquefy the crystallized religions!\nLight up the soul fire; please connect the soul wire; transcending the ego tire\nWhile we moving to the higher chambers of the mind\, cruising through uncharted waters.

SUMMARY:OPEN Faith: A National Conference by the OPEN Network
DESCRIPTION:I’m excited to be presenting and facilitating at OPEN Faith\, the gathering hosted by The OPEN Network. This gathering will include people from various streams of faith\, seeking to live and believe in just\, generous ways for OPEN Faith.  We’ve pulled together over 80 presenters and artists—top thought-leaders and practitioners—who will share their most inspiring ideas and practices at OPEN Faith\, exploring new ways of following Jesus—new integrations\, conversations\, and dreams. \nMy sharing will take two forms: \nThe Divine Dance: Harmony & Dissonance in the Flow of Life \n\nIn this reading and discussion from my brand-new book with Richard Rohr\, I will explore nuclear tests and relationship tests\, Donne and Oppenheimer\, atomic bonds and theological bombs – getting to the heart of what unites and divides us. \n\nFor more\, see The Divine Dance online hub (where we’re giving away a variety of amazing digital downloads to each person who pre-orders)\, and the free bonus chapter I’m giving away to everyone who subscribes! \n\nPracticing the Presence of People: An Experiential Deep-Dive \n\n\nWho are you? Who is this stranger – or friend – standing next to you? \n\n\nDive into fun\, highly interactive group exercises that explore the present moment as well as the stories we all bear – getting to know yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate more about everyone you connect with. This space of “practicing the presence of people” becomes a safe space for taking risks\, playing outside our comfort zones and discovering more about ourselves than we typically do in our everyday lives. Just as contemplatives and mystics go beyond their ordinary awareness to experience an expanded sense of communion with God\, we’ll practice Jesus’ second great commandment and see the Divine show up in our neighbor’s face. \n\n\nWe’ll set a tone that’s equal parts fun and profound\, creating a container where anyone willing can go beyond small-talk and social awkwardness. Show up if you want to dig deep into whole-being presence!\nOPEN Faith will have a festival-like feel with numerous offerings at any given time\, so you can participate at your pace and according to your interest. Christian Theological Seminary is hosting this exciting event\, which will use six venues around campus to bring OPEN Faith to life. \nContributors include Jacqui Lewis\, Mark Charles\, Danny Cortez\, Rob Bell\, Teresa Pasquale Mateus\, Monica Coleman\, Jeff Miner\, Aaron Wade\, Doug Pagitt\, Brian McLaren\, Alicia Crosby\, David Gushee\, Stan Mitchell\, Mark Tidd\, Melissa Greene\, Colby Martin\, Ryan Phipps\, Paula Stone Williams\, and many more. \nSee the full schedule here. \nThe best way to register for the event is to become a member of the OPEN Network. When you become an individual member\, you’ll receive an email with instructions to register for OPEN Faith free of charge. With an organizational membership\, you will receive three free registrations. (Become a member now.) \nWe will have a room block at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis North\, 3912 Vincennes Road\, Indianapolis\, Indiana\, 46268. Click here for reservations. \nThe OPEN Network seeks to make visible\, resource the groundswell\, create pathways of connection and belonging among existing and emerging churches\, individuals\, organizations and networks from various streams of faith\, including (but not limited to) Non-denominational\, Progressive-Evangelical\, Post-Evangelical\, Evangelical\, Charismatic\, and Free-church\, who wish to live and believe in friendship with God in the Way of Jesus. \nPersonal Sponsor: \n \n  \nConference Sponsors:
