This documentary is just that - a documentation of the life-changing events that's unfolded that week. These sometimes sad, sometimes funny, often emotional dialogues resulted in an opening of the heart and mind for some and a healing for others. Through the act of breaking bread together three times a day and joining together to speak from their hearts about how their chosen spiritual paths fit together on this jigsaw Earth they truly discovered how accurate the old axiom is: "that which unites us is greater than that which divides us."
PRODUCER’S STATEMENT
MANY PATHS, ONE SOURCE TECHNICAL SPECS
From June 27 – July 1, 2005, the Memnosyne Foundation hosted the first of the Memnosyne Speaker Series in Dallas, Texas. Entitled “Religious Tolerance in a World of Spiritual Diversity”, this conference of Spiritual Leaders held its opening ceremony at Thanksgiving Square, on June 27th. The main four-day Conference – which featured a group of thirty-six diverse spiritual leaders exchanging spiritual, philosophical, scientific & cultural knowledge in an unbiased, supportive setting in round-table discussions – was held in Rosine Hall at the Dallas Arboretum, from June 28 thru July 1, 2005. There was also a 2-hour outdoor closing ceremony where these spiritual leaders said a prayer or performed something representative of their spiritual belief, on the Martin Rutchik Concert Stage at the Dallas Arboretum, on July 1st.
The format for the Conference was simple: before arriving in Dallas, each spiritual leader participant submitted questions or topics that went into a "pot." During the four-day Conference, participants drew questions from the pot, and each participant had the opportunity to address the topic and comment on the subject.
