DYING FOR STIMULATING CONVERSATION?

What is a “Conversation”? Interesting Conversations brings outstanding speakers/facilitators together with lifelong learners or simply curious individuals to share their expertise and passion on a wide range of topics through conversation (rather than lectures).

This is about a lively interaction and sharing of ideas, observations and opinions through participation, questions, sharing experiences and insights. Please follow and like our Interesting Conversations Facebook page for updates and supplementary materials on upcoming topics.

Make new friends, and enjoy stimulating conversation, food and beverages for the price of a movie ticket. We provide pizza, coffee, tea, soda and water (or bring a beverage of your choice).

10 /25/2019 "The Spirituality of Northern New Mexico"

Northern New Mexico is home to a diversity of spiritual traditions. Starting with Native American, then followed by Roman Catholic, Protestant missionaries and Jews.

In the 1960's came groups of spiritual and social communes and communities of Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and other traditions. These groups rapidly developed in the mountains of north central New Mexico.

This Interesting Conversation will introduce many traditional and contemporary spiritual communities of northern New Mexico and we'll discuss the reasons why so many spiritual groups have been attracted to this area.

Dr. Ned O’Malia is a Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Religions, a degree he earned at Temple University, Philadelphia. He spent most of his active teaching career in the Honors College at the University of New Mexico. Additionally, he is a travel lecturer and photographer, a talented chef, and he is even qualified to marry people. Ned has explored 126 countries via bus, truck, train, boat, cruise ship, dugout canoe and ox cart. He believes a true traveler will find adventure even on a trip to Socorro or Farmington.
