Attend Moore's event in London on Sept. 7

St. Jame's Church, Piccadilly, London, England hosts Thomas Moore's public presentation Writing in the Sand on Monday 7 September 2009, starting at 7:00 p.m.

According to the linked promotion,

"This evening Thomas Moore uses depth psychology, mythology, and spirituality to present a faith in tune with 21st century values. Thomas finds striking new meaning in the rich stories and imagery of the Gospels, recasting Jesus not as a teacher of morals and beliefs, but as a spiritual reformer and visionary. He explains how you can “enter the kingdom” by respecting those who are not in your circle, being a healing presence in every situation, reconciling your sexuality with your spirituality, and by waking up from the cultural unconsciousness around you. Thomas also discuss the important Gospel figure of the much misunderstood Mary Magdalene. This evening offers an original and fresh look at re-imagining your spiritual life."

Moore shows Magritte to illustrate foolishness

At Hampstead Town Hall, Thomas Moore presents "Magritte’s Head: Our Precious Ignorance and Foolishness" on 9 September 2009, before the start of Re-vision's conference, Sacred Margins: Psychotherapy at the Interface.

"Drawing on Nicolas of Cusa’s Educated Ignorance, and Erasmus’s In Praise of Folly, Thomas Moore suggests that there is a certain way in which intellectualizing ruins life. He will show some of Magritte’s images and offer an interpretation of other classic sources, proposing the limits of the mind and the importance of playing, fooling around, and cultivating a sense of admitting to what you don’t know and can never know."
