“New Style” Workshop »

by David Hanna

We have just held our second regular weekend workshop along new lines. We had a great range of participants – all the way from twelve to eighty years old, and from people hearing a two-day workshop for the first time, to some whose last two-day workshop was thirty years ago!

So, what’s new? It is more in the general approach, I suppose: less ‘us and them’; a freedom to ask questions, even during lectures; and a new order to the chapters – ‘telling the story’ rather than challenging doctrine. It fits the age and allows the Unificationist spirituality to breathe a bit more freely. At least, that is how I see it, or experience it. We have meditation times, listening to music; we introduce new songs; and this time we had a great ‘family evening’ where each person sang, danced, recited or told jokes, picking the name of the next ‘volunteer’ out of a basket.

This workshop was especially supported by the North London community – many thanks to all of you! Our next workshop is on the weekend of July, 24-26. Why don’t you join us?
