Man Cannot Live By Bread Alone

Cathy Anderson, manager of the Boise Co-op Health and Beauty Department, believes that our store not only has an obligation to nurture our customers’ bodies, but their souls as well. Last year she was instrumental in bringing a film to Boise from the annual Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival.  The film, “Blessings”, depicted the lives of the Nangchen Nuns of Tibet and what Cathy describes as “an expression of pure joy – the foundation of what the world really is if we decide that it is going to be that way.”

Cathy has once again joined forces with the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival promoters to host a couple of local events.  Here is the lineup of coming events, starting this Saturday:

Saturday September 4^th

Film: “GRIEFWALKER” will be shown at 6:30 pm

Tickets are available at the Boise Co-op or at the door, but there is limited space available, so reserve your spot now!

The 6th Annual Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival is unlike anything of its kind on this continent: it is a gathering that illuminates us through a journey of film, community, and celebration—not to mention some top notch panels and speakers providing insights and tools for our own journeys and inspired offerings in our work and lives. This years festival features a very exciting new segment: A Children’s Film Festival!

We at the Boise Co-op are proud to be associated with the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival, and we are deeply grateful to Cathy Anderson for her efforts in promoting this event.
