DESCRIPTION:Event: Pre-Screening: “Sand and Soul”\nDate: Friday\, Octob
 er 2\, 2026\nTime: Doors open at 7:00 PM\; Film presentation begins at 7:3
 0 PM (Run time: 1 hr 15 mins)\nLocation: Parish Hall\nAdmission: No entran
 ce fee. However\, donations will be gratefully received to support the pro
 duction and promotion of the video.\nSand and Soul is an hour long immersi
 ve experience into the solitude of the Sinai wilderness. Travelling by jee
 p with local Bedouin and legendary Sinai Guide Dr. Rabia\, Richard LeSueur
 \, and two companions journey into the desert on an ancient pilgrim route 
 that leads to the heights of Mount Sinai. Along the way aspects of the des
 ert become poetic metaphors for reflection on the wilderness times of life
  – those times when a person can find themselves in an uncertain and lon
 ely ‘landscape’ and have to find their way again. The video toggles be
 tween stunning visual experiences and reflective meditations\, between lan
 dscape and inscape\, between sand and soul.\nSand and Soul is a non-commer
 cial\, self-promoted video being made available widely at no cost. Product
 ion was self-funded\, with some generous donations from a wide community o
 f friends in Canmore\, Calgary\, Vancouver and Victoria.   \nIn the 1990
 s\, Richard served as the Director of the Desert program with St. George
 ’s College in Jerusalem. \nWhile this films is not an explicitly Anglic
 an film\, nor a production of the General Synod\, Richard thanks Dr. Andre
 a Mann and the Department of Global Relations and Ian Alexander for their 
 help through this four-and-a-half-year project. \nThe pre-screening is op
 en to any and all. Richard will also send invitations to a number of peopl
 e in Vancouver who have been kind supporters of the project since 2022. \
 nThe video is to be released in October following pre-screenings in Vancou
 ver\, Victoria and Calgary. \nOne reviewer has written:“Sand and Soul i
 s a gentle tribute to the power of how a wilderness landscape can awaken a
 n inner journey of reflection\, soulfulness and even personal change.”
