LIVING ROOM GATHERING
More to Food than Feeding
 Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Rescheduled from 1/12 Snow Cancellation
6 pm Doors, 7 pm Program Intersections, 274 5th Ave Btwn 29th and 30th Sts
With Samir Selmanovic
& Marcia Kelly
Food has an important role in every religion. It connects us with God, the earth, our bodies, and each other. Cooking integrates the five senses. Eating stands at the connecting point of science, art, and economy.
Yet, we are part of the culture that promotes feeding instead of having a meal. Come and slow down with us. There will be no lectures. Our founder Samir Selmanovic will share his experience of growing up in a Croatian atheist family where the sacred was communicated through food. Come for stories, tasting, and friends. We will also hear food blessings from different religious traditions as included in 100 Graces: Mealtime Blessings, by Marcia and Jack Kelly, friends of Faith House Manhattan.

NEW FAITH HOUSE OFFERING
Women's Spirituality Circles
Saturdays in 2011
April 2 & June 4
3-6 pm
Gathering at homes in Manhattan and Brooklyn
RSVP to Jill@faithhousemanhattan.org to attend or learn more
Why do women have a natural affinity to congregate? What is it that draws us together? We know it is happening... in our communities of faith, over our stoves and microwaves, in our emails and blogs! We know it is happening...at board meetings and neighborhood demonstrations, over skype and chai lattes!
We, Jill Minkoff and Ashley Curl, ask you to consider what it would be like to intentionally gather as women of multiple paths converging to share and grow spiritual, inspirational, and devotional space together.
As you consider, we warmly welcome you to join us in exploring the depths of common meal, ritual, experiential learning, and community, as we seek and nurture together an emerging collective of women of "many faiths and none" in New York City within the embrace of Faith House Manhattan.
To begin this journey, we will meet from 3-6 PM on Saturdays April 2nd, and June 4th. Space will be limited, as we will be meeting in homes. Please RSVP your ability to attend and interest to Jill@faithhousemanhattan.org.
In the name of that which connects us and that which makes us diverse, Ashley and Jill |
