HESPERUS VILLAGE RISING! Photo by Nedi Eckler * * * * * * * |
Greetings!
If you look on the Internet for definitions of the word "encounter", you will find many different flavours. An encounter can be a random meeting, a violent conflict, a supernatural experience or many other kinds of event. Here is my favourite: "an authentic, congruent meeting between individuals".
This definition captures something of the mood we are trying to cultivate on our campus. People come here - not only to DO something - but to have a new experience. We are continually surprised by the qualities of the human encounter that are taking place here.
Read on, and imagine the possibilities!
Sincerely,
Mark

Encounters at THRESHOLDS
Hesperus Village Art Symposium
May 25-29, 2011
| |
 This symposium, in conjunction with the completion of Hesperus Village, brings together artists and community to create a new unification of colour, form and space. By gathering to ensoul this building and by our time and efforts given, we will build social community. Participants may choose between apprenticing in sculpture and lazure using plant pigments, with many hours each day of hands on learning. Our common efforts will be enriched by singing, eurythmy, morning lectures and evening presentations that build on our understanding of 'thresholds'. This symposium will be a gift to the future of Hesperus Village which is dedicated to the continued growth and development of the human being.
