Dear Friends You are invited to an exciting Interfaith Art Exhibit where I will be showing 3 pieces of collaborative work on Peace. I would enjoy seeing you at our Art Opening on December 3 from 1-4pm. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Shalom, Salaam and Peace with gratitude Dove “Collaboration and Connection” is the fourth interfaith art exhibition hosted by the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California (ICCNC) and brings together artists from many faiths to express their commitment to interfaith understanding, coexistence, peace, and cultural dialogue. The impetus for this powerful exhibition is the desire to build bridges and create friendships through artistic collaboration. Thirty teams of artists have risen to the challenge of creating collaborative artwork with unique and stunning creations in a wide variety of mediums including painting, clay, fabric, metalwork, glass, found materials, photography, origami and much more. This art exhibition is sponsored by the Faith Trio, a 16 year alliance of the ICCNC with two other congregations in the Oakland area: Kehilla Community Synagogue and Montclair Presbyterian Church. Local non-profits, foundations, and community partners are also sponsors of the exhibition. The opening reception will take place at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, 1433 Madison Street, Oakland, on Sunday, December 3, 1 – 4 pm. Free event. Light refreshments, speakers, live music by the Qirvah ensemble, and the opportunity to view artwork and meet artists. The exhibition runs through February 24, 2018 and is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 – 4 pm.

The work I am presenting reflects my deepest passions. Like the symbol of the tree it connects to body mind and spirit. I have been unleashing my creative energy through movement and art my whole life. It’s the essence of who I am as a person. As my hands dig deep and work the cold earth I become connected to my truest self and give birth to objects big and small leaving a piece of my soul in each one. Everything I make has meaning to me. My life reflects my art and my art reflects my life.

Over thirty people came to participate in the Qigong warm ups and 15 students joined in the Wild Goose Qigong Set. The energy in the room was powerful as the students flew beautifully as one healthy flock, gliding and flowing together. We celebrated together in the art gallery, sharing a healthy dinner.
