Working for Inner & Outer Peace:
A Dialogue
Barry Nobel & Arun Toke
7:30 - 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18, 2004
First Christian Church Chapel, 1166 Oak Street, Eugene
Cost: Free of charge (contributions to LIFE are encouraged)
"Inner peace comes through working for the good of all....Each one has a contribution to make, and will know from within what this contribution is, but no one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self-centered way, but for the whole human family." Peace Pilgrim
Join LIFE friends and community in addressing the questions: "What am I doing to work for inner peace? What am I doing to work for outer peace? How are inner and outer peace connected in my life?" Asking these questions was never more important. To check out the helpful dialogue guidelines that will allow us to "share the air" personally and respectfully, surf to www.heartofeugene.org/LIFE. Our time together will include moments for inner reflection.
Barry Nobel is a mediator as well as a student and teacher of mindfulness and compassionate conflict resolution.
Arun Toke is the editor and publisher of "Skipping Stones: A Multicultural Magazine." He is also an activist for social justice and a student of Amma and other mystics.
