Clamor, Cadence, Silence, Song:LISTENING TO THE SPIRITUAL HEART OF MUSICIt was William Wordsworth who wrote,
Intuitively we know the truth of these words since music lingers in curious ways within our hearts for days and even years, and there are times when a beloved song rises on its own in our souls. At this year’s Spirituality Gathering, we will explore the fascinating ways that music speaks the language of the Spirit, including the spiritual practice of composing and performing, music as an agent of healing and connection, as well as the many ways that music enriches worship and prayer. Even if you don’t claim to have a musical talent or sing in a choir, this year’s gathering offers an opportunity to explore the many ways that music speaks to all of us. The daylong event includes worship, keynote presentations, small-group workshops, lunch, and time to browse through our displays and “bookstore.” For four years, persons interested in the field of spirituality have gathered at ESR to share their wisdom, explore new topics, network and experience spiritual renewal. Join us March 5, 2005, to experience another day of refreshment— a festival of praise for the body, mind, and spirit! KEYNOTE SPEAKER
