Seeking the source of Gandhi’s work
Last evening, 11 April 2008, Philip Glass’ Opera Satyagraha opened at the New York Met. On Sunday evening a public forum at the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine will echo back the collective reflection and inquiry of a group spending the weekend in meditation and dialogue. They seek to uncover the contribution that the lineage of Gandhi, King, and others around the world might make to social movements in this generation and the next; and, what new capacities mindfulness, contemplative and reflective practices can build for a world confronting complex and emergent challenges. This is a journey that begins - but does not complete - this weekend.
