October 21, 2018: “Conversations with America: Confronting the Divisive Challenges of Our Time”

2:00 PM at Asheville Friends Meeting House
227 Edgewood Road, Asheville, NC

Presented by Randy Bell

Author Randy Bell raises questions about what it means to be an American in the early 21st century.

In his latest book “Conversations With America: Confronting The Divisive Challenges Of Our Time,” Randy Bell presents a series of essays that give insight into some of the important issues facing America today.

In his presentation to EHSA, he will discuss the need for a new kind of balanced conversation built upon respectful speaking and informed listening that will help us in the continuing development of our individual perspectives regarding America’s future.

Randy Bell has published fourteen books and blogs on both social and spiritual topics.  He is a frequent presenter at retreats and conferences.  His spiritual journey emanates from the teachings of Buddha, Lao-Tzu, Jesus of Nazareth, the Dalai Lama, Sharon Salzberg, Lama Surya Das, among others.  He has been a Zen practitioner for over 40 years.

Following a 30-year career in higher education as a teacher, administrator, consultant and trainer in colleges across the United States, Randy founded and directed Spring Creek Spirituality Center in Western NC.  He now leads the McKee Learning Foundation, a publishing organization.

Informal discussion and refreshments will follow the presentation. All are welcome.
