Welcome to this World Interfaith Harmony Week series of Creating Sacred Space:  Awakening the Heart. We are offering interactive sessions where we create sacred space based on multiple faith traditions and cultures. Through these we can awaken the heart to be a source of harmony, peace, inner strength, and compassion.  By awakening and healing our own heart, we can be a source of healing for others, thereby inspiring service to all LIFE:  Love In Full Expression.  Just as we can open up to the same sky through windows of different shapes and colours, there are many pathways to awakening the heart and mind through sacred space and healing.
