10/16/11 ETHICAL SOCIETY OF ASHEVILLE
“From Fundamentalist to Humanist in 5 Ordinary Words” will be presented by Terra Maney Weaver at the Sunday, October 16th meeting of the Ethical Society of Asheville, 2:00-3:30 PM, held at the YMI Cultural Center, 39 South Market Street in the Drug Store section of the YMI building. Weaver is co-founder of Zeal to Heal, Inc., an Asheville-based company specializing in community-building through media production, curriculum development, consulting, and special events. She speaks about her personal journey of spiritual awakening in a way that informs and inspires our collective journey. She conjectures that despite individual differences, most people access personal growth through the shared doors of curiosity, courage, creativity, and compassion but these are not among the five ordinary words. The path leading to new paradigms of philanthropy and human connection may be “the road less traveled,” but experiencing and sharing the journey benefit us immensely--individually and collectively. There will be a discussion period following the presentation. Following the meeting, there will be time for informal conversation. All are welcome!
