"Changing the World/Changing Ourselves: Looking at Mysticism and Activism” is the title of a retreat which will take place Friday, September 29 from 6 to 9 PM and Saturday, September 30 from 9:30 AM until 4 PM at Virginia Cottage. Participants will explore the range of forms that mysticism can take, sharing personal experiences, through presentations, journaling, discussions and worship sharing. After becoming familiar with mystical approaches to spirituality, the group will apply mystical approaches to concrete social issues with particular attention to war and peace issues and to crime and punishment.

Richmond Art Museum’s new film screening series, fade-IN (Focusing on Art, Diversity, and Education - Indiana) will showcase a variety of films that fall outside the box of mainstream cinema and were most likely not shown in our area. The series will include independent, foreign, and experimental films, and even a scattering of older studio works that deserve another look. Opening dialogue by local filmmakers and film aficionados along with discussion following the films will offer a unique experience to film lovers. Screenings will be held the last Friday of each month, September through June.
