Join us for this daylong workshop at St. Olaf College, free and open to all, to explore what it means to engage across religious differences in a time of heightened fracturing globally and locally. Learn from practitioners, scholars, and leaders about developing skills to cultivate connection through storytelling, deepen understanding of how trauma impacts engaging with religious and spiritual practices, approach challenging conversations in person and online, and to develop greater self-awareness for leadership in religiously diverse societies.
Free and open to the public. Registration Required. Dinner included. Ages 16+. Open to all religious, nonreligious, and spiritual identities, worldviews, and ways of life. Join us for rich conversation, deep engagement, and good food.
