I thought this book looked so wonderful that I contacted Eva McIntyre and suggested she promote it on a-spiritual-journey-oh, so you could hear about it. Note from webmaster of a-spiritual-journey-of-healing On the contrary it provides the tools and permission for each person to find his or her own way to a quiet mind. Nor is this a one size fits all programme. The approach is that of encouragement and reassurance and you're not expected to get it right all at once. Eva McIntyre weaves together personal story, psychology, theology and theatre skills to equip the reader to be able to reach that most desired yet elusive goal peace of mind. It does so in an accessible and practical manner with techniques and exercises for the reader which have all been tried and tested by the author. This book approaches issues of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being in a unique way within the Christian Tradition. It encourages the reader to believe in her or his spiritual instinct and to use the techniques it contains to free the spirit from the constraints of dogma and self doubt. 'A Quiet Mind - uniting body, mind and emotions in christian spirituality' by Eva McIntyre.Ī Quiet Mind tackles the dark corners of Christian tradition where it has been used to reinforce negative self image and lack of personal spiritual freedom. The actors have done a very good job at imitating dogs causing belly laughs to erupt from the viewers. In the first part of the play, the laughing of the audience can make you feel you’re watching a comedy. well,… you get the point.Īs the actors change into dogs and the dogs come to life, we are immediately brought into this world of the K9/human mix, where the audience is made to laugh at some of the doggy antics- smelling each other’s privates, peeing on fire hydrants, licking their own genitals, and turning around 3 times before finding the exact perfect spot to lay. If one dog dies Happy, then Hermes wins and Apollo will have to do his bidding for one year. They disagree about humanity and our ability to be Happy. When the play itself opens, we are introduced to the actors through their narration of the story, which they tell weaving in and out of the conversation between the two who set the whole thing up Hermes and Apollo.įor those who have not read the book, the premise (in short) is that fifteen dogs are given human intelligence by the Gods as a manner of a wager between the two. The majority of the book is set in Toronto’s High Park, so anyone who has read it will not be surprised to see this quaint setting before them. The stage was set to look like any corner of any park- a bit of grass, a few rocks and a bright yellow fire hydrant. After reading the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize winning book Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis, I immediately thought it would make such a good play.
