Liberatory Spirit, the Spirit of Liberation: Multi-tradition Conversation on How We Get Free

Sunday September 6, 2026 3:00pm - 4:30pm CDT

Our movements can and must become places that: give birth to nourishing spiritual frameworks and theologies that uplift our vision for the world as it must become; are communities of care, interdependence with each other and the earth, and mutual aid; create the felt sense and knowledge of our belonging with each other and the earth.
