Re: Fetzer Institute Global Gathering

Fetzer Institute is engaging with people around the world to promote awareness of the power of love and forgiveness in the global community.

Day 1 of Global Gathering: A Feast of Love and Compassion

The specter of magic, stories of love and forgiveness from various disciplines kicked off the unique Global Gathering: A Pilgrimmage of Love and Forgiveness, hosted by the Fetzer Institute in Assisi, Italy.

The first full day of the four-day event was described as a “feast” of great stories and examples of love and forgiveness which plays a powerful role in areas of professional, personal and spiritual lives.

The morning sessions focused on the arts, education, engineering and design, the afternoon offered in-depth breakout sessions on six themes, from public interest design to how love and forgiveness can cure divides in a variety of contexts.

The sessions, and the sole gathering of more than 500 participants of various forms of love and forgiveness from around the world, offered great opportunities for networking, education and personal reflection to all.

A session of Magic experience designer Ferdinando Buscema merged sleight-of-hand and serious messaging to represent the Fetzer Arts Advisory Council.

The day also included presentations on numerous projects that combine innovation and compassion. Jon Kuniholm’s Open Prosthetics Project is turning to crowd sourcing and partnership through the internet to update the now 100-year-old design for prosthetic hands now commonly in use.

The Film screenings included a 35-minute documentary on the dilemma and hopes for street children of Mexico and Brazil by Thereza Jessouroun and a video on the keys to Universal Design and web ease of access created by the engineering professions group.

Camille George of Haiti told every one of taking flour made from breadfruit, a food product brought to the island to feed slaves that typically rots on the vine, and opening a bakery dedicated to breadfruit products. Next step: A franchise operation.

After participants learned the stories behind a pair of art installations created specifically for the event, the evening was rapped by a unique dinner and unique performance of flag throwing, fire eating and song at the Cathedral of St Peter.
