The sweet experience of the soul’s joy comes by remembering our essence. —Ellen Grace O'Brian

You're invited to a conversation of the heart. Two pilgrims, poets, and long-time spiritual friends share the mystical meeting that only poetry can express. Yogacharya O'Brian will be reading from her new poetry manuscript, The Moon Reminded Me. Rev. Gibbs will share poems from his recently published book, Light Reading: Poems from a Pilgrim Journey.

The Rev. Canon Charles Gibbs, an Episcopal priest, visionary, peacebuilder and poet, has dedicated his life to serving the sacred in the world, especially through interreligious and intercultural engagement for peace, justice and healing. Founding Executive Director Emeritus of the United Religions Initiative and Senior Advisor and Poet-in-Residence for Catalyst for Peace, he is an internationally respected spiritual leader, interfaith activist, speaker and writer. His recently published volume of poetry – Light Reading: Poems from a Pilgrim Journey is available on Amazon.com. Currently, he is working on a book of reflections – I’d Like to Help. Excerpts from both books are posted on www.revcharlespgibbs.net. Mindful of life’s abundant blessings, he seeks to live each moment in gratitude.
