AUGUST 13th-15th: Children's Retreat at Slumber Falls

Hey Parents! Enjoy some summer fun on the banks of the Guadalupe river with your kids. We'll have art activities, including Egyptian crafts with archaeologist Momo Brown, nature walks, swimming in the pool, river time, and plenty of relaxing free time for you. We need just one chaperone per 3 kids, so if you have a friend with another child willing to watch over yours, you could even take the weekend off! Accommodations and all meals, snacks, and supplies provided. Only $85 per person for 3 days, or $75 if you sign up before August 1st. At Slumber Falls Camp and Retreat Center, just outside New Braunfels. Please register early at the lobby shop as space is limited. For more information, visit www.slumberfalls.com. There are a number of full and partial scholarships available-please see Jai if you're interested or inquire at the lobby shop.

One People, Many Paths: The Sacred Art of Altars

The Seventh Annual Exhibit and Silent Auction sponsored by the Celebration Circle

September 1 - September 30, 2009

Gala Closing Reception and Movie Screening on Thursday, September 30th, 6:00 - 9:30pm

at the Bijou Theatre, Crossroads Mall, 4522 Fredericksburg Road, 78201

The Seventh Annual One People, Many Paths: Sacred Art of Altars exhibit and silent auction features 55 altars by some of San Antonio's most creative artists. Starting with the same hand-built wooden altar as a basis, each artist meticulously crafts their own unique vision, using a wide variety of media to create a visually-stunning and startlingly diverse view of the many paths to the Sacred.

The show will hang all month long in September, where it will be visible inside the lobby of the Bijou Theatre during normal operating hours, 11:00am - 10:00pm. It's free inside the lobby, so go early to get an advance viewing of the show, and place your silent auction bid for the altar of your choice!

The culminating gala reception will take place on Thursday the 30th, and will feature light hors d'oeuvres, final bidding, silent auction closing and screening of the film. Tickets for the closing reception and film are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. This is a fundraiser, so all proceeds benefit the Celebration Circle, an inclusive spiritual community with a creative approach to the Sacred, which offers an eclectic Sunday service, weekly meditation, workshops, concerts, retreats, and other special events.
