Water is Sacred: Multi/Interfaith Dialogues on Protecting Water
March 22, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Free“Go as a River” (Thich Nhat Hanh) Multi-Faith Dialogues on Sacred Water
World Water Day
March 22, 2018 Thursday | 9 – 11 AM
Room 207 @ The U of T Multi-Faith Centre
569 Spadina Ave, Toronto
If these are times of great destruction and desecration, how does re-learning reverence and radical humility teach us to protect the sacred? How can we learn to “suspend damage” (Eve Tuck) in ways that do not deny, but create generative possibilities? On World Water Day, join us for a morning of meditation and dialogues with a multi-faith panel to reconnect with the sanctity of water.
Wendy Phillips (Anishinaabe elder), Rev. Leigh Kern (St. James Cathedral, KAIROS and Vision Keepers Council), David Frank (Plum Village), and Sabrina Malach (Shoresh) will be sharing teachings, stories, and reflections on how the faiths they belong to guide them, and may guide us, in engaging in daily acts of renewing our relationship to water.
A water meditation will be led by the True Peace Toronto Sangha.
Snacks and refreshments will be served. Please bring your own mug or container.
Come see art by Jenny Blackbird (Water Words) and learn chakra healing by Dr. Romila Verma (Water Speaks).
