2013 Burning Man recap call TUESDAY 9/10 at 7:00pm PDT

2013 Christian Science at Burning Man group
We’re planning a call at 7pm (Pacific time) next TUESDAY, Sept 10 to share our Burning Man 2013 experience with all of our supporters.  The trip was an absolute success — we washed over 200 people’s feet, had as many if not more significant conversations, received enormously positive feedback, and plan to return again next year.
If you know anyone who would like to hear the story, please share / forward this email and they’re welcome to also join the call.  We’re hoping to do a full in-person show-and-tell sharing later but still need to organize and arrange it.
UPDATE: Here is a recording of the call (duration: 1:38) (enjoy and share!)

Fujiko SignsFujiko Signs, CSB will be giving a talk / workshop on the topic of “Love without Limits, Life Without Fear” on Wednesday 8/28/13 at 4-5:45 pm in the Triad (part of Red Lightning camp located at 8:45 and Esplanade.)

Here’s the description of her talk:

Are you willing to become like a little child? How does childlike trust connect you with your inner source, your creator, God, Love? What is your concept of prayer? Should we expect healing when we pray or think about our relationship with God, who is Life? What is truth that is universal and unifying? When we accept God as Love and Life, we may experience more love and vitality. Come and explore these ideas with a lecturer who herself questions these ideas. She was inspired by many healing accounts in the Bible and especially the words and works of Christ Jesus who understood the relationship between consciousness and healing.

Come join us on Wednesday at Red Lightning!

Holy Ghost Experience

Father of Lights

I was first introduced to Darren Wilson on the way to Burning Man. Nate and I were staying at my friend Jackie’s totally huge, but empty, house outside of Palo Alto with his wife and mom who only speaks Chinese.

Giant rooms with wood floors – totally empty. I remember these details because it’s on these floors that I watched the trailer for Darren’s third movie, “Father of Lights.” It changed my life.

“People are traveling around the world healing people the way Jesus did? And someone is filming it?”

I know why God showed me it then. My experience at Burning Man would be pretty similar to the content in Darren’s films.

So, as we gear up for Round 2, I brought the most recent installment in the Christian healing trilogy, Holy Ghost, to the attention of the Burning Man group.

We know that by supporting this project, we’re supporting our own. I encourage you, dear reader, to support both. This is what Christianity is all about!
