A discussion about what made the event spiritual and reverent
It was the audience that held the key to the reverence at the Falkirk launch of Opening the Gates of the Heart: A Journey of Healing on October 8, 2010. People felt the magic and specialness in the air and were talking among themselves, getting to know the people around them, laughing... During the presentation, the author's story about the book's creation and her personal experiences drew nods and smiles from the audience as they perhaps related to the sentiment expressed, or maybe just because they were offering encouragement to the author as she spoke. The result was an electric feeling between audience and author, feeding off each other, spurring each other on, making the event a spiritual experience.
