Many of us who are exploring Eastern
contemplative practices - with emphasis on acceptance and wisdom
- are coming out of western traditions of political activism and
religious faith which are based on protest and prophecy. Is it
possible - both in practice and in our creative or political work
- to hold both approaches in such a way that each informs and
inspires the other? John will discuss his work as a filmmaker,
teacher, and meditation practitioner to explore this crucial question.
John Ankele,
B.A., M.Div.: John's work has
been broadcast nationally on PBS and ABC-TV and has been shown
at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the Smithsonian, the United
Nations Film Festival and the Margaret Mead Film Festival. He
started out as Program Director for the NYC Council of Churches,
doing public affairs programs for WABC radio, WNBC-TV, and WCBS-TV.
He then spent six years teaching at the Communications Center
of the All-Africa Conference of Churches in Nairobi, Kenya. Back
in the U.S., he developed curriculum videos for schools and institutions
and promotional videos for nonprofit organizations. Lately, he
has led workshops exploring "the common ground between contemplative
practice and the experience of visual perception, from the point
of view of both filmmaker and watcher.”
John is also a long-time meditation
teacher in the Shambhala Tradition.
