Hi.

Just want to mention -- that I just got back down the mountain, after spending the afternoon at the Chumash Inter-Tribal PowWow.

This was something new to me -- I had never been to one of these before -- and I just have to say -- that it was a beautiful and very sweet-spirited experience.  A bunch of different groups were dancing in the center ring, surrounded by many areas and drumming groups and people and families -- and, I guess, different tribes.  The faces there -- were just amazing.  Beautiful people all dressed up and ready to dance.

I love the spirit of the circle.  That place -- was just resonating with -- kindness, mutual support, the energy of community, simple basic humanity -- and beauty.  Just speaking into an interfaith/interspiritual context -- it's my sense that "the spirit of the circle" -- as found up there today, or anywhere else -- is the foundation for broad social change that the world is so hungry for right now.  The spirit in that circle -- comes as close to being truly "universal" as anything in particular possibly could.

My vision is: we just connect that spirit in every direction.  That's how we fix everything....

Brussels to host the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 2014

Brussels – the capital of the Belgians and of 500,000,000 Europeans – has been chosen as the host city of the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 2014. The selection of Brussels was made by the Board of Trustees of the governing organization at its March 13, 2011 meeting in Chicago.

More than 10,000 people from diverse religious, spiritual and convictional traditions will participate in the 2014 Parliament, which will last for 7 days and will comprise more than 500 programs, workshops and dialogues, alongside music, dance, artistic exhibitions and related events hosted by religious communities and cultural institutions. Since the historic 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions was held in Chicago, modern Parliaments have been held in Chicago (1993), Cape Town (1999), Barcelona (2004) and Melbourne (2009). These periodic Parliament events are the world’s oldest and largest interreligious gatherings.   (Visit herefor more.)

How will the Northwest interfaith community be represented? What are your hopes and expectations for the next Parliament? In the next three years, what actions will you take to demonstrate that compassion is at the center of all faith traditions?
