We will be hosting world renowned author and musician Gilad Atzmon on Saturday, May 12th at 7pm at our regular meeting spot Journeys for Conscious Living. We have hosted his talks in the past to great reception and high attendance.

He is loudly outspoken against the actions of the state of Israel against Palestine and faces massive criticism for his opinions in his writing. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel and having grown up in Jerusalem he has a unique and important perspective on the conflict as a Jew; he has written and published three books on the matter. While he is often accused of antisemitism and protested at his speaking engagements, a close analysis of what he is saying shows this to be unfounded. Some would say that any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemitic, but this is just as ridiculous as saying that anyone who criticizes the American government hates freedom.

Gilad is also an incredibly talented saxophone player and if we're lucky he will blow some jazz for us after the talk! As a resident of London, England, he has won high recognition for his music and still gigs regularly. Check him out on youtube here and here.

This is going to be a special evening so if you are in the Denver area please come out! Gilad is well spoken and deeply knowledgeable on the subject at hand, and his music is guaranteed to impress. We will ask for a $5-$10 donation at the door and there will be food and drinks provided. If you would like to bring a dish or a side to make it a potluck you are more than welcome to!
