Film Night, Celtic Spirituality, Meditation: Gnostic Night
March 17th Sunday 7:00PM Special Programming For St. Patrick's Day
Sunday, March 17th at 7PM
It's an evening of Mysticism, Gnosticism, and Meditation... with a movie! Since it's St Patrick's Day Eve we'll watch the short (about 20 min) film Allone, have a brief period of meditation, then some conversation with maybe some tea.
Allone is a spiritual parable set in pre-Christian Ireland, where a young, recently bereaved woman with no one left in the world, travels the land in search of a remedy that can cure her grief and restore her loved one back to life.
We're meeting in the Mile End neighbourhood at The Integral Yoga Studio at 5425 Parc Ave at 700pm on Sunday March 3rd. If you need more details just call or text Jonathan at 4389306969 or email holygrail@johannite.org
This event is presented by the Holy Grail Parish of the Apostolic Johannite Church

All are welcome and we extend a special welcome to the LGBTQ+ community, women, and anyone else who may have felt excluded or alienated from other forms of Christianity, who still feel called to a relationship with the Divine and would like to be part of a supportive, engaged community.
The Integral Yoga space has a small foyer in the front, just come in and come in all the way to the back to the meditation studio. And here it is on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/ZBfU7izXsPfV2bJcA
Plus, some announcements of other activities, not being run by us or formerly connected to us but that some members are going to on their own, that you might enjoy and find intellectually and spiritually edifying:

With the moral authority of both church leaders and politicians at an all-time low, people now look to psychology for guidance concerning their interior lives as well as their public lives. A rich source of such guidance is Erich Neumann, one of C. G. Jung’s most prestigious student associates, who fled Nazi Germany to live in Tel Aviv in the 1930s. Surviving two world wars and the Holocaust, he published his first book in 1949 to help avoid even worse disasters in the future. His explanation of shadow projection as a central ingredient of war and racism sheds important light on today’s global disasters and suggests some possible solutions.
Labyrinth Walk
Last month we did a formal field trip for the labyrinth walk at Montreal West United Church and loved it so some of our members are going back for the next one. It’s not another field trip or Holy Grail activity but we probably will go as a group again. The next one is Wednesday, March 20th, 7-9PM, details here:
