Encountering the Holy Spirit: Arts Workshops in Switzerland
Recently, we shared the story of Charlotte Bommeli, an OMer in Switzerland using the arts to engage with female asylum seekers in her area. Today, we are excited to share the story of another OMer from Switzerland, Salome Naf, who holds arts workshops for those who are “spiritual but not religious.”
"Here I Am South African"
At the most recent run of our Community Engagement Through the Arts (CETA) training, several fantastic works of art emerged. On the final night at the artist showcase, audience members were treated to visual art, spoken word, dance, music, and more. One of the participants, a native of South Africa, wrote a poignant spoken word piece.
