Join Moore in Minnesota in October 2006

The Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota is promoting Healing Through Illness: Celebrating Art & Life with Author Thomas Moore, Artist Jila Nikpay & Others as a free multimedia event providing "new perspectives on how illness can be transformative and life affirming. The evening is for anyone facing illness or loss and for those seeking intellectual and creative interpretations to help them work through health challenges."

"The event includes an artistic program created by Jila Nikpay as part of the Heroines Project with music, film and performances from local, Minnesota artists. Her book Heroines features twenty-one Minnesota women who have been transformed by breast cancer – emotionally, physically and spiritually. The evening’s keynote speaker, author Thomas Moore, will expand upon his essay "How to Be Healed By Your Illness" included in Nikpay’s Heroines. Book signing and reception follow."

October 17, 7 p.m. Free and open to the public.
