"Beyond War" & "Changing the Dream"

The next two Sundays,July 7 and 14 at 9:15  will be a two-session forum presented by Pam Prather and Charley Rogersretired Hendersonville residents who have been co-facilitating workshops dealing with world peace, compassionate listening, and social justice issues for the past 2 years.  They have facilitated multiple sessions in Hendersonville of the 5 week course on Beyond War
They attended an Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream symposium in February of 2012.   This symposium addressed environmental sustainability, spiritual fulfillment, and social justice and did it so profoundly, that this became their commitment, to become two of over 3000 volunteer facilitators around the world. Pam and Charley have conducted 11 symposiums around western North Carolina during the past year, including the First Congregational Church.

 July 7 will be "Beyond War,"  showing an introductory DVD, followed by a compassionate listening activity to illustrate how to reduce the sense of “enemy”. The enemy is simply one whose story has not been told.

July 14 will be a one-hour synopsis of the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream symposium  which was held at FCC earlier this year.
