2007
Co-sponsored the first Abrahamic Family reunion Task Force meeting at Esalen, where strategic planning for future work was discussed with leading members of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities. This was the beginning of a project that aims to bring peace and reconciliation to countries in political, cultural and religious turmoil. The first phase of this work will be focused primarily in the United States.
Traveled to India to explore possible working relationships and projects with the Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India and the international city of Auroville. This was the first visit for Dulce Murphy and Michael Murphy’s return visit after fifty years. He gave lectures, worked with members of the organizing committee in Auroville, and collaborated with colleagues on the valuable archives at the Ashram.
Began work on the ongoing project entitled Toward the Abrahamic Family Reunion funded by the Fetzer Foundation and directed by TRACK TWO’s chairman of the board Joseph Montville. This project fosters reconciliation between Christians, Jews and Muslims through a Five-Cities program in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, New York and Boston.
