2018-2019 edition – what happened?

We believe we are all invited to search for the meaning of our lives. We are not here just to produce and consume, or to fear each other, but rather to learn from each other and to understand that every event in our life has meaning. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning. Sometimes it seems, we only have 2 options: follow the meaning or follow entertainment.  We don’t mind entertainment, but we’ve found out that meaning offers us joy while entertainment only offers pleasure. So we would like to start our year with meaningful entertainment.

Four different songs, one story.

The first part speaks about various forms of slavery. Today, mass media culture often enslaves us with bad news.

The second part is a song originally written by African slaves during their time of oppression. It carries a deep universal meaning: liberation—not only from external chains but also from addictions, and above all, from the prison of our own ego.

The third part is a prayer for peace: asking that peace be given to us both as a gift and as a responsibility. Only when we are free in our hearts can we share peace with others and spread good news about life and humanity.

The fourth and final part is an invitation to the journey of love. Freed from selfishness, we begin to truly see those around us—especially those in real need.

This Christmas season, we believe there are countless small, daily opportunities to spread love.  It is easy to be kind to those who think like us; the greater challenge is to show kindness to those who do not share our opinions, to strangers who seem distant or uninteresting, to those who are lonely and simply wish to be heard. Sometimes, the most important gift we can give is simply to listen… so let us listen.
