I hope you all had a Happy Christmas and peaceful holiday season. This comes with very best wishes from us all at CCN. May you receive many blessings in 2017.
This event with Ishpriya is a truly wonderful opportunity to connect with one of the great pioneers of Interfaith Dialogue and a universal approach to spirituality. I have known Ishpriya since 1977. She is the last of these explorers who truly valued the riches the East has to offer. She worked with Fr Bede Griffiths, and many others.
"There is a Crack in Everything, that’s how the Light gets in" L Cohen song
This will be a time for us to explore ways of relating to our world, in which darkness appears to be gaining ground at all levels. This world needs light and love more than ever, so finding ways to live and radiate peace and joy to those around us is vital for ourselves and the world. To do this we need to be in touch with our own inner resources and the Source of all life. This requires a deep faith/certainty that there is more to life than the material, and that true happiness comes from within not from without.
Ishpriya Mataji, will take us on a journey to explore how we can unveil our inner resources, and bring them to our world, to become the cracks through which light can come in. This day will show that there is a clear, simple and radically practical way to live this fullness of life, while journeying through the demands of contemporary daily living.
During the day there will be teaching, with time for reflection, stillness and questions.
