SUMMARY:Via Creationis: Walking the Way of Creation
DESCRIPTION:Gain a richer appreciation of the great mystery of God’s creation in this guided walk in Hermann Park\, using the park’s beautiful natural setting to prayerfully ponder this mystery and praise our Creator for the marvels of Creation.  \n\n\n\nThe Via Creationis (the way of creation) commemorates the mystery of Creation by reading side by side the two sacred books that God wrote: the Book of Scripture and the Book of the Cosmos\, as theologians have taught throughout history. At each stop along the walk\, we will focus on one aspect of creation\, with an accompanying verse from Genesis\, a related science highlight\, responsive readings\, and time for reflection and prayer.   \n\n\n\nDeepen your Christian spiritual practice by walking the way of creation in the park!  All attendees will receive materials on the Via Creationis to take home and use again in future.   \n\n\n\nThis event is for a small group and advance registration is required.  Specific meeting location in the park will be sent to all registrants several days prior to the event.  \n\n\n\nRegister on www.eventbrite.com at:        .  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com for more information. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:HOUSTONIANS ARE CALLED TO DANCE FOR PEACE

Halprin’s intent is that the group will form a collective body whose every step will become a prayer for healing Earth. \nIn Houston Planetary Dance will be performed in Hermann Park off Hermann Park Drive on a grassy area located across the street from the main entrance of the Houston Museum of Natural Science\, 5555 Hermann Park Drive\, Houston\, 77030. Participation in “Planetary Dance” is free and open to the public but advance registration is required:https://donate.coredance.org/campaigns/10823-planetary-dance-houston-2019 \nWhere to Park \nFree parking is available in Hermann Park near the Sam Houston Monument (Lot A)\, the large central parking lots in front of the Houston Zoo (Lots G and F)\, across the street (Lot H)\, near Miller Outdoor Theatre (Lots E and D) and beside the McGovern Centennial Gardens (Lot C) located on Hermann Drive. Metered parking is available on the streets adjacent to the Park.  To view a parking lot map click here: https://www.hermannpark.org/media/uploads/hermann_park_parking_map.pdf \nAbout Core Dance \nCore Dance\, an award-winning contemporary dance company with global reach\, creates\, performs\, and produces compelling original dance that ignites the creative spirit and actively encourages participation and conversation with the community. For nearly four decades\, Core Dance has supported innovation\, collaboration\, artistic risk-taking and sustainable art-making in dance.  Core Dance was co-founded in 1980 in Houston\, Texas by dancer and choreographer Sue Schroeder and her sister\, Kathy Russell.  Five years later\, the organization added Atlanta\, Georgia as a second home base\, creating a context for dance that is relevant in both cities and around the globe.
