Sharing our Spiritual Journeys: an interfaith gathering of peace which will be held at the Brahma Kumaris Centre for Spiritual Learning 186 Mount Hay Rd., Leura, from 7 pm Friday 21 – 2 pm Sunday 23 September 2012

A group of people from a number of different spiritual paths will gather together to share experiences encountered on our journeys. As each path contains great spiritual wisdom, there is a lot we can learn from one another as we attempt to put our beliefs into practice.

Young and old alike will join as sisters and brothers to share, explore and to listen from the heart. The program will run by examining questions which concern us all on our progress of spiritual endeavour – some questions will be prepared and sent to you beforehand, some will be impromptu, some even out of a hat! We will share some questions in larger and some in smaller groups.

There will be a special dinner in silence on Saturday evening.

There will be time for us to join in prayer, in meditation and silent walks.

Each one of us is unique, yet we are one family.

The wonderful Centre for Spiritual Learning on 132 acres (53.4 hectares) of prime natural bushland and is just 2.5kms along the Mount Hay Road from Leura and adjoins the World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park.
