Christmas celebration -Montreal Gnostic centre

Hello Everyone,

Here are some pictures taken from the Christmas Night in Montreal Gnostic Centre

by Gwenael and myself.

Santa Claus is our dear guest

The weather outside is a bit cold and refreshing. That’s Bianca.

From the Montreal’s winter –right into the warm and friendly atmosphere of the Gnostic Christmas celebration

Thanks so much for Melanie and Martin (unfortunately he couldn’t make it this time) for all of their preparations.

This food has a great taste!

Let’s take a closer look

Discussions take place.

George and Rodrigue.

David, Gill and Emmanuelle

Yvon, Maria, David, Emmanuelle, Gill, Bianca, Jean-Paul, Nadine

Yvon and Maria seem to have a very entertaining conversation when Sylvain puts a music on. I was amazed by the “Flight of the Condor”

Gill and Yvon are drinking something. What can it be?

Aha…

Steeve and Sylvain, comme deux freres

An interesting activity takes place.

 The objective is to walk around the centre, concentrate on all of the pictures one by one, find the one you like the most and explain why have you chosen it.

 Concentration on the pictures, 1 –Nadine, 2 –Sylvain and Gwenael, 3- George

Santa Claus: "Hey, take a break and have dessert!"

Why not?

Melanie looks happy to handle the cake

Joyeux Noel

   Sylvain congratulates everyone with the coming holidays, warns about the great challenge not to get fascinated by all sorts of a “holiday egos” and encourages everyone to stay strong.

He speaks in French and most of us understand him clearly.

I am asked to say something in Russian, however when I do it, I get totally blank looks in the eyes around me…I hear some complements that “it sounds nice”. Thank you.

Maria’s turn to say congratulations in Spanish.

She gets some understanding from the audience.

Everyone seems to be amused.

Melanie and Sylvain: "Show must go on!"

Our warmest wishes from Montreal:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

May the holidays and the coming year 2008 be safe, interesting and very productive for you!

Peace, love and happiness!
