A Weekend Exploration in Healing

What Ails Us - How Can We Find the Grail Today? With MariJo Rogers, Kim Snyder-Vine  and Rachel Schmid

November 8-10, 2013 - Phoenix, Arizona.

About the Weekend: Our search to heal ourselves and our world is truly a modern version of Parzival's quest for the healing forces of the Holy Grail. The compassionate question he needs to ask the suffering king -- What ails thee? -- gains its healing power from his self-initiated efforts in development. In the end he learns not only to find the Grail but to become a Grail for all. Where is the Grail, and the healing forces it brings, to be found today? Through Eurythmy, music, the spoken word and conversation, we will follow Parzival's adventurous quest to see what we can learn about furthering our own search for the Holy Grail and asking "The Question" of ourselves.
