Dances with Dragons Climax DC-Area Creation Spirituality Gathering
R/Evolutionary Theologian Matthew Fox keynotes, teaches at weekend of leading-edge spiritual experience, learning, growth and Cosmic Celebration.
All the magic, mystery and mythic power of dragons will arise as a dynamic crowd of healers, artists, community-builders, mystics, activists, and seekers evoke their inner fire in "Awakening Imagination for Transformation: A Gathering of Creation Spirituality Communities," scheduled July 27-29 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville in Rockville, Maryland. Hosted by Evolve Chesapeake and Creation Spirituality Communities, the radically inclusive weekend features a keynote by the (r)evolutionary theologian and author Matthew Fox, Ph.D., along with workshops on community-building, spiritual activism, art as meditation and body prayer. Evoking archetypal images of dragons through art and experiential workshops, the weekend offers an opportunity to reach beyond the "either/or" of the reptilian brain to dance in an inclusive "both/and" perspective, embracing diversity and interconnectedness to achieve global healing.

Action for Social Justice
The right time to right a wrong is right now!
THE MARYLAND DREAM ACT (Senate Bill 167) will be up for referendum in the November elections. Its primary intent is to help the undocumented children of immigrants who were brought to the U.S. by their parents at a very young age and who have worked hard in school, hoping to go on to college. These children, if they met certain qualifications, would be eligible for in-state tuition rates. This would ease their financial burden considerably and would also benefit our economy. The bill also helps veterans by extending the time frame in which they are required to present evidence to qualify for in-state tuition. The Maryland Dream Act was signed into law by Gov. O'Malley in May 2011, but will not take effect until after the referendum and pending vote results. Learn more about it at www.casademaryland.org. Go to "Get Involved" at the top of the page and click on "Maryland Dream." If you wish you can also sign their pledge of support there. (No money is solicited.) Think about these children. If you feel they deserve a break, vote to support the Maryland Dream Act in the referendum. |
