Free Lecture: Journey to Morocco and the World Sacred Music FestivalWith Steven Scholl and Rory Finney
FREE ADMISSION
Presentation Description:
The Nuwandart Gallery will be transformed into a Moroccan setting with a presentation of Rory Finney's stunning images from a summer tour of Morocco made in collaboration with Steven Scholl, owner of Imagine Adventures. Through a gallery exhibit and slide presentation, Finney and Scholl will share stories and images from the city of Fes and the World Sacred Music Festival, which was the central focus of the small group tour led by Scholl this past June. Beyond Fes, were visits to Marrakech, Meknes, Sefrou, and the Essaouria. Finney's photography brilliantly captures the magic and intensity of Moroccan life.
The World Sacred Music Festival is a renowned gathering of musicians that has been held annually for the last 12 years. Past festivals have featured such diverse talents as the whirling dervishes of Turkey, African World Music superstars Miriam Makeba and Youssou n'Dour, Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar, American soul singer Ray Charles, and Sufi chant masters from Morocco.
Presenters: Steven Scholl is an independent scholar of religion, a writer, filmmaker, and owner of Imagine Adventures of Ashland. Rory Finney is a photographer, dancer, and poet who lives in Ashland when not traveling the world.

Interesting people, fascinating information and "extra-ordinary" conversation in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
In this interactive forum, participants gain an ever-broadening understanding of being human while navigating the complexities of the greater reality. In contrast to a typical discussion forum, participants are encouraged to explore ideas from a metaphysical perspective, where no idea is too far-out!
Utilizing intellect and intuition, participants explore: What is our purpose for existence? Where did we come from? How do our souls come into being? What is the triune nature of mind?
Note: Intended for participants 18-32 years-old only.
