We Invite You To:
an inclusive, interactive 3-day public forum promoting Inter-religious and Intra-religious dialogue to explore the challenges of Social Paranoia, Intolerance, Negative Stereotyping, and Scapegoating, and the promise of Reason, Understanding, Compassion, and Cultural Harmony.
JOIN over 40 Presenters and Facilitators as we explore:
1) The mutual dilemmas of religious ignorance, extremism, intolerance, negative stereotypes, prejudice, demonization and dehumanization, scapegoating, and fear of "the other," that can lead to toxic divisiveness, polarization, and social paranoia targeting any religious/cultural communities, including the current example of Islamophobia and it's impact on the Muslim community,
and
2) The power of personal engagement through dialogue and practical applications in promoting a shared consciousness of peace - and in doing so promoting the religious experience as a healing remedy rather than problem.
FORMAT:
An outstanding, diverse gathering of presenters for 3 Days of: keynotes, workshops, topical panels, live 2-way global links to groups in Israel and Jordan, facilitated dialogue groups and action planning, Tibetan Sand Mandala ritual, evening cultural performances, displays, multicultural community, and rich networking for collaborative action beyond the conference.
"It does not require that we be the same to be appreciative of, at peace with, and secure in our relationships with each other; only that we be familiar enough with each others story to share the humanity and trustworthiness that resides in each of us."
