Join Anne for a conversation about her national best-selling novel THE HALO EFFECT, which explores fear, hope, loss, the complicated and often rocky road to forgiveness, and the things that can ultimately save us.   We will view the 57 minute film DIVINING THE HUMAN: The Cathedral Tapestries of John Nava, which inspired the novel.  The film is a beautiful documentary that “is a visually stunning insight into the connections between art, faith and the human community.”

Anne will explore non-duality and unity, seeing the humanity in others rather than the differences, practical ways of fostering acceptance rather than judgment, and and how we can form blessed community.  We will explore our deep connection to each other and the earth – areas which Charleston has modeled in many ways in recent years.

On Saturday, you will explore SAINTSEEING IN CHARLESTON AND THE WORLD BEYOND, a half-day workshop that is a deeper exploration into the ideas that emerged from Friday’s program.  What do we see in others? How do we look beyond initial preconceptions? How do we look past personal biases and prejudices, recognized and hidden. What is the work of forming blessed community and identifying tribe? Why is this work crucial?
