The city of Prato is preparing to host the Economy and Spirituality Festival, now in its seventh edition. Two appointments on the calendar. It begins on 4 September with a conference at the Emperor’s Castle entitled “Reconstructing the power of the word”; the second appointment, on the other hand, is Saturday 24 September, a day that will be dedicated to the theme “Governing without giving up on one’s dreams”.
The Festival explores with meetings, experiential seminars, dialogues and shows, the themes related to environmental sustainability, the economy, hospitality and spirituality understood as the recovery of one’s inner dimension, remembering that man is one with the planet and its inhabitants all. The theme addressed this year in the various stages of the Festival, which has traveled to other cities and towns in Tuscany, is that of “Gift and Forgiveness”.
“The Festival of Economics and Spirituality works to combine the dream of a better, fairer, more equitable, more ecological, more sustainable world with an inner change that makes this dream come true – these are the words of father Guidalberto Bormolini (in the picture), co-director of the Festival – Because without the inner changes, history tells us that dreams have often become nightmares, what was dreamed of for humanity has become a nightmare for humanity itself ”.
At the start Sunday 4th September at 6 pm at the Emperor’s Castle in Piazza delle Carceri, with a conference on “Rebuilding the power of the word”. Words can unite, they can heal, but they can also divide and hurt. The lack of awareness of the power of the word is a considerable problem for our civilization.
