Dinner and Divinity - April 16th - Artistic Peace

This weeks D&D was an artistic evening. After a delicious dinner of shrimp fried rice, an asian salad and falafel and homemade tahini, we gathered together to create some music and share some wisdom. Afterward, we spent about 20 minutes making "peace pledges" for our peace banner. Then, we tied them together and hung them up in our hallway. It's still there today! :)

Towards the end of the night, a friend of mine, Alma, shared with us some information about a fundraiser that is being held for the Montclair Public Schools in June. It'll be an afternoon potluck / concert. "Dinner and Divinity" will be joining the event and spreading the word. The event is in conjuction with two of Alma's projects which you can check out. One, is a cooking blog: www.TakeBackTheKitchen.com and the second, a non-profit run by Montclair parents / musicians: www.ParentsWhoRock.com

Check out the photos from the night and we hope to see you at the next Dinner and Divinity, April 30th.

Dinner and Divinity - April 3rd - One Giant Leap

After one of the most plentiful dinners we've ever had at a Dinner and Divinity, we gathered together to watch two sections from an amazing dvd called "One Giant Leap." Using film, music and interviews, the makers created a powerful and uniting experience. Check out the trailer below:





A second 'One Giant Leap' film has come out. We're hoping to get it soon.

Lastly, here are some photos from the wonderful evening:


Our AMAZING dinner. :)
