Kentucky Bahá’í School 2008

Fri. Aug. 29 – Mon. Sept. 1 (Labor Day weekend)

Location: 4-H Leadership Center, Nancy

Many recreational activities available in a relaxed and family-oriented atmosphere. Affordable cost, comfortable facilities in a beautiful wooded setting on Lake Cumberland in southern Kentucky.

Special Guest Presenter:Erica Toussaint, member National Spiritual Assembly on “Creating a Climate of Encouragement in these Times of Change”

In this deeply text-based course, participants will focus on practical, daily applications of the spiritual principles essential for unified and loving interactions, as individuals, communities and institutions move through the Five Year Plan processes, and experience the culture of change characterized by an attitude of learning.

Participants will take an in-depth look at the way they view the world vs. the way that Bahá’u’lláh guides us to see it.

In a lively, laughter-filled atmosphere, we will explore spiritually-based solutions to such challenging topics as justice, forgiveness, dissension, criticism, true consultation, and the purpose of tests.

Great children and youth classes, talent show, coffee house with Ms. Toussaint, book store, seeker classes, visual productions by Tom Kimmerer, morning yoga and special this year: “Community Building through the Arts” (music, dance, drama, and visual art).
