Building a Mystery: The Impact of Cultural Humility on Spiritual Practice (Hybrid)

A ‘Religion, Mental Health, and the Search for Meaning’ Conference. Explore the many ways that the realms of culture, society, and religion support each other, and how we can respectfully and authentically adopt the valuable perspectives embedded in the wisdom traditions of cultures other than our own. How can we honor the profundity and pragmatic usefulness of these spiritual worldviews without succumbing to the western world’s deeply-embedded tendencies to intellectual colonization and cultural appropriation? How can we remain curious and reflective about the ways we treat the earth, and not use these powerful spiritual ecologies as a way of bypassing our responsibility to the lands we inhabit? Join us for this all-day conference as we explore the many ways that the realms of culture, society, and religion support each other, and how we can respectfully and authentically adopt the valuable perspectives embedded in these wisdom traditions.
