~~ Quiet Peace Meditation ~~
For those who benefit from quiet reflection, we hold a Peace meditation From 9:00 AM. To 10:00 AM. On Sundays in our Yellow Barn. This quiet time together includes silence and guided meditation led by a team of experienced contemplators.
~~Upcoming Celebration Themes~~
Aug 8 Peace Sunday, a Sunday you won't want to miss! Our speakers will be Zak Ebrahim, the son of the Moslem terrorist El Sayed Nosair, and Rev. Rhonda Greenberg, who has just visited Cambodia and is starting the "Rock the World With Good Deeds Foundation" to provide food and resources to impoverished children and their families there. In addition, Pebble will announce the winner of its annual peace award!
After a childhood of extremist indoctrination, Zak has become a lecturer on nonviolence. His father was the first member of Al-Qaeda to spill blood on American soil when he assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, the controversial leader of the Jewish Defense League. He is in prison for life. Zak says he's had to confront his fears and the unknown to come out and preach the lessons he's learned about peace and acceptance of others.
Aug 15 Karen Hakun will lead. Topic to come.
Aug 22 (Tentative) Shamanism.
Aug 29 "Sojourner Truth—Ain't I a Woman" by Sojourner Truth enactor Dr. Daisy Century. Don't miss this very special morning!
Sojourner Truth was born a slave in upstate New York in 1797, was sold several times in her early life and finally gained her freedom when New York abolished slavery in 1827. She became widely known as a standard bearer for abolition and in 1851 she attended the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio where she delivered her famous speech later known as "Ain't I a Woman."
