the london mind body spirit festival is getting closer. it's the debut appearance for dekhomai. we are stand no 17. if you're going do come and visit us and say hi! the stand is only 2m x 2m so it's going to be nice and cosy. the write up on the exhibitors page says this about our stand:
Healing prayer, interactive meditations to try, space, meditation cd and cd rom, all from the Christian tradition.
we had our last planning meeting last night and are just about set...
the first dekhomai CD ROM has also arrived which is exciting. this is the online labyrinth that you can take and experience at home when you're not online. you can experience this on the stand on a laptop along with a couple of fun interactive pieces of techno-spirituality. we also have a couple of leaflets that gareth has designed that are looking really good on the dekhomai theme - quotes from the mystics and so on - some of the images and quotes are in the mystical postcards photo album.
each day on the stand we'll be offering prayer for healing of mind body and spirit (or anything else) and that is free(!), there'll be space to sit and chat, and we'll have at least two interactive rituals to participate in at any one time - we'll rotate these around so that it keeps us and visitors to the stand fresh... these are currently iSpirituality; care bowl; prophecy table; christ we share; foot washing/massage. then we'll have a table with a few items for sale from the dekhomai shop... hope to see you there.
Looks great, be thinking of you all over the next few days... working at a few of these events myself ... smaller scale but a great place to be...

Exciting to discover your stand today. It's good to know that the witness continues. May the Creator bless, protect and sustain you all this week as you bring the ancient scriptures to life, and may many respond!

Best wishes for your booth. It should prove to be a creative learning curve for your volunteers as much as an opportunity to offer good news to visitors and exhibitors alike.
Enjoy your time as much as you can while the fan-fare lasts. We delved into exhibition outreach in Australia in the 1990s, and it worked well. Nowadays such festivals are passe and in decline in Australia because New Age spirituality is now mainstream.
You folks are finally catching up on the trends that were ablaze "Down Under" fifteen years ago. Perhaps there's a few lessons for EC folk in the UK to take notice of from "Down Under"?
Cheers

Folks - I've posted up a quick "virtual tour" of the MBS festival highlighting various exhibitors booths and posing questions that relate back to Christianity. I urge you to debrief after the festival and have some ideas on my blog about the kinds of questions you could ponder.
