Inner Peace/Outer Peace: A Virtual Conversation with David LaMotte
October 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Join singer, songwriter, speaker, author, and leader on peace David LaMotte, for Inner Peace/Outer Peace, a virtual conversation offered by the NC Institute for Spiritual Direction and Formation. In this chaotic season, it is easy to go about our days with a warring heart. But, in order to build up the beloved community, we are challenged to approach the world with a heart of peace. This one-hour session will leave you with not only a sense of inner peace but a deep desire to work for peace in the world, creating harmony among the variety of notes we all play in our shared song.
David LaMotte has performed over 3500 concerts and released 13 albums. His dense speaking and workshop calendar has included presenting at the PC(USA) Mission to the United Nations, keynoting peace conferences in India, Australia, Germany and at the Scottish Parliament, as well as offering the baccalaureate for 2016 graduates of Columbia Seminary. LaMotte suspended his music career for two years, beginning in 2008, to pursue his other primary vocation by accepting a Rotary World Peace Fellowship to study International Relations, Peace and Conflict Resolution at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. As part of that study, he also spent time in rural Andhra Pradesh, India working with a Gandhian development organization.
