SUMMARY:The Knitting Pilgrim - Fundraising Event
DESCRIPTION:The Knitting Pilgrim is a Fundraiser for East End United Regional Ministries. \nActor\, writer and knitter Kirk Dunn will be presenting his multidisciplinary one-man show\, The Knitting Pilgrim\, featuring the Stitched Glass tapestries. The show\, which theatre critic Lynn Slotkin called “a stunning piece of theatre… glorious and so moving\,” combines personal storytelling\, image projection and three huge knitted panels\, designed in the style of stained-glass windows\, that look at the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic Faiths: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. It recounts Kirk’s 15-year artistic and spiritual journey handknitting the ambitious project\, and looks at why the faiths struggle to get along today\, the meaning of art\, the hell of grant-writing and the power of love to overcome major obstacles (and minor mishaps). The show premiered at the Aga Khan Museum in 2019\, and has been performed over 55 times across Ontario to acclaim\, with an upcoming tour in Austria and Germany in the summer of 2023.\nAdvance Tickets are $25 or $30 at the door

SUMMARY:The School of Earth & Soul–celtic Wisdom 3: Sacred Imagination
DESCRIPTION:In Celtic wisdom the sacred is as present on earth as it is in heaven\, as immanent as it is transcendent\, as human as it is divine\, as physical as it is spiritual.\n–John Philip Newell\, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul \nIn 2016\, John Philip Newell began a teaching initiative that is called The School of Earth & Soul. Its purpose is to reawaken awareness of the sacred in all things through the recovery of Celtic wisdom for today and to help translate this awareness into compassionate action. The school follows a three-year cycle of teaching in its annual retreats. Participants may join at any stage in the three-year cycle and attend any of the Earth & Soul venues across the country. \nIn July\, Emmanuel College’s Centre for Religion and Its Contexts is hosting the “Celtic Wisdom 3: Sacred Imagination” retreat\, where participants will be invited to reawaken to the sacredness of the human imagination and compassionate action through the teachings of Alexander John Scott\, George MacLeod and Kenneth White. \nThis commuter retreat includes both teaching and spiritual practice over three days. Each day begins and ends with meditative prayer and chant. John Philip teaches from the wisdom of Celtic prophets over the centuries\, applying this ancient wisdom to today’s most critical challenges. Cami Twilling invites us into spiritual practice bringing our inner attention to the presence of the sacred within us and within all things. In the early afternoon\, there is silence and free time for resting and walking. Our meals are shared in common and on the evening of the second day we have a party to celebrate our time together at the school. On the final morning before lunch\, we share together in a closing ritual of thanksgiving. Visit the following url for full schedule and details: uoft.me/CelticWisdom3

SUMMARY:Considering Matthew Shepard
DESCRIPTION:Music at Metropolitan and The Elora Singers\, one of Canada’s foremost professional chamber choirs\, present the moving oratorio Considering Matthew Shepard on Wednesday\, June 21 at 8pm\, a Pride Toronto Affiliate Event. Written by Craig Hella Johnson\, this work is both an account of and reflection on the hatred that ended Matthew Shepard’s life. \nThis powerful work offers hope of acceptance and inclusion in a changing world in a concert reflecting on the themes of love and compassion. The three-part fusion oratorio speaks with a fresh and bold voice\, incorporating a variety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole. Johnson sets a wide range of poetic and soulful texts by poets including Hildegard of Bingen\, Lesléa Newman\, Michael Dennis Browne\, and Rumi. Passages from Matt’s personal journal\, interviews and writings from his parents Judy and Dennis Shepard\, newspaper reports\, and additional texts by Johnson and Browne are poignantly appointed throughout the work. \nNOTE: This work includes direct quotations of the bigoted words of Westboro Baptist Church members\, who picketed Shepard’s funeral. Audience members are warned of strong language and the intense themes in the piece.
