Foto Ralph Nimmann Nov. 07 Ralph is talking about his interests, what the Rainbow Network Cambridge is, some highlights - & challenges at his previous radio shows, the usual stress before & during the show, what his views are about spirituality and religion, his opinion about mobile phones, computers and the Internet (including a story about Bapak, founder of Subud, and his wife Ibu), a bit about him being German, why he thinks the human voice is important for the spiritual development, what motivated Ralph to put the World Peace Pages after Sept. 11th up on his web site - and of course about his beloved Dances of Universal Peace... Ralph stepped down being the chair of the Cambridge Inter-Faith Group earlier this year. He has joined Chela, the Cambridge Georgian choir.
The question:"Who do you think you are and what is your task? (in 12 words)" stays unanswered....

Ralph came to the conclusion, that his life is too busy and that "less is more"- so he decided that this 50th radio show will be his last one. He wants to focus more on the sharing Dances of Universal Peace.
