About the workshop subject in Moore's own words:
We human beings stand midway between an intimate life of family, friends, home, and work on side, and a vast universe full of mysteries on the other. We cook and we pray, play and meditate, make a home and wonder about the meaning of it all. We are human and spiritual. But these two all-important dimensions sometimes get separated. We focus on one and forget the other. This is a [workshop] on deepening ordinary life while developing an intelligent and grounded spiritual existence.
