Dave and Peg are back and have a lot more to talk about. Our target audience is the greater neXus church community in Abbotsford BC. We are interested in conversations around faith, spirituality, culture and health and relationships of all kinds. While we personally hold to the Christian symbols we grew up with as they are familiar to us, ours is an inclusive and open spirituality - and we love to hear about the individual meaning people have in their own spiritual experience. We are also fascinated by the concept and phenomenology of "consciousness"...are we contained completely within our our body and brain or is there a trans-personal existence to understand and experience? Lastly, we have always been drawn to video art, notably movies and TV and exploring the ideas emerging from those media.
