Overwhelmed by diversity and trying to order the chaos, however, we assume and impose labels that never do, and problably never can, quite fit who we are. Underneath our endless, sometimes draining conversations about multicultural identity, lies human yearning for spiritual unity and wholeness in community. This conference is an invitation to explore how to incarnate resurrection in the dusty, fragmented, spiritual selves that we are. We will explore how the poetry of multiple ancestries, narratives of psychospiritual healing, and the integrating dynamic of dance can enable us to embrace personal and social multiplicity. Together we will step forward in faith to be more nearly who we are becoming in the being of God.
Rooms are wheelchair accessible.
