I am happy to announce that I shall be the Artist-in Residence of an amazing organization , Stony Point Center.

"Stony Point Center is home to the Community of Living Traditions, a multifaith intentional community dedicated to the practice and study of hospitality, nonviolence and justice.

Practicing Hospitality

We begin with practicing the hospitality of our Muslim, Jewish and Christian faith traditions, as we host the Center's guest groups. In its deepest sense, hospitality means "welcoming the other, welcoming the stranger," whether that comes in the form of another human being, a group, an idea, or a critique. It is this fundamental openness to learning about, understanding, and potentially being changed by the other, that is the foundational practice which leads to collaborative, effective efforts to nurture peace, nonviolence and social justice."

I am extremely excited and hope to share more of my residence journey with you as it unfolds

In the meantime here is the link to the page presenting me  right below the present artist in residence, on their website

Quite a fascinating interfaith retreat center I highly recommend to all foundations, spiritual groups or organizations for their events, annual or summer retreats

I will be there from May 5th to August 1st 2018, so it would be wonderful to see you there!

With Love and Light
