PATH SPEAKING TOUR'S 3 PRESENTATIONS
At various times and locations throughout this speaking tour (see its two-part Directory, in the Home Page) Moji Agha's talks will take the form of one or more of the following 3 presentations in any given area, as possible and desired:
a) The tour's two-hour main presentation, namely an introductory talk followed by an extensive Q & A segment, intended for the general community. Brother Moji will start such gatherings with a half-hour introduction to the three core topics around which this PATH speaking tour has been organized, namely: Iranian Nonviolence (Un-demonization Clubs-- See the "Our Worship, Your House" goal), Native/American Truth and Reconciliation (NATR Tents), and Intersectional Circles (Chambers of Compassion) initiatives.
b) Wherever possible and desired, a three-hour workshop/teach-in, intended for the more activist-oriented members of the community, and of the participating civil society groups or spiritual congregations--see the Home page. In these more in-depth interactive gatherings the speaking tour's above-mentioned 3 topics will be explored a bit more extensively, as permitted by time.
c) Wherever possible and desired, when the speaking tour brings brother Moji to an area's UU congregation (or other open-minded church or spiritual group) on a Sunday, he has offered to give a sunday service-type Sufism-informed (in part) "un-sermon" covering the general topic of the spiritual and moral/ethical dimensions of nonviolent "civility" activism.
