"Open Your Heart – United Responsibility"
2. WSF World Spirit Forum
January 16 - 19, 2005, in Arosa/Switzerland
Dear WSF-Friends
We are very happy. In January magical
wintry Arosa is once more the background for exceptional encounters
between spiritually oriented leaders and participants from various
fields such as science, economy, religion, culture, politics, sports or
health.
Start the new year together with the WSF
– World Spirit Forum Team and commit yourself to visions, projects and
actions for a healthy sustainable earth and universe. Make friends with
people from around the globe and be inspired by many wonderful
encounters with peers.
Use the creative potential of this forum
in the middle of a magnificient scenery to exchange and develop new
visions and actions off the beaten track and regardless of any
hierarchical structures.
The forum offers you the unique
opportunity to introduce your own ideas and projects and to become an
active part in the creation of a sustainable consciousness for our world.
Experience 40 speakers, workshop leaders and musicians in over 60 events
Together with 40 international speakers,
workshop leaders and musicians the second WSF World Spirit Forum invites
you under the motto „Open Your Heart – United Responsibility“ to take
part in over 60 intensive and solution-oriented events. Confront, e.g.
George Caudill, the leader of the John Kerry - election campaign, with
your views of a „new world order“ at a round-table discussion. Intensify
your interest in old religions at a workshop with the writer and expert
in religions, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and his wife Desiree. Let yourself be
touched and inspired by Bibi Russel’s unique engagement for the weavers
and artisans of Bangladesh in one of her speeches. Experience the
healing mantras of Dechen Shak, a young tibetan woman, or practice
contemplation during meditations, Dahn Hak or TaiChi.
Open-Space-events focusing on „Spirit in Practice“
You are invited to participate in our
Open-Space events with your whole personality, your ideas, and
commitment with the focus of creating or intensifying visions, to find
partners and completions and to take part in finding new solutions
concerning this year’s topic „Open Your Heart – United Responsibility“.
