There is a day our God is preparing.
There is a world that waits in the womb;
There is a hope unborn God is bearing.
Though the powers of death prowl the night,
Sing 'round the fire to waken the dawn:
I am for you, I am for you,
I am for you: We are one.

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.
