Explore Spirituality and Social Justice at Faith in Place Summit

Chicago-based Faith in Place will host their Annual Environment and Spirituality (AES) Summit virtually and via local watch parties, September 22 through 24. This year’s theme, Grounded and Engaged, will feature five unique sessions exploring the intersection of spirituality, the environment and social justice.

The keynote on September 22 features Lama Rod Owens, an international influencer and author, sharing insights on how spiritual practices can support self-discovery, liberation and environmental care. Regional watch parties across Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin will allow participants to gather in person to watch the livestream.

“The AES Summit offers an incredible opportunity for people from all walks to explore how our spiritual practices can inspire and sustain our efforts to protect the environment and promote social justice,” says Elena Canler, deputy director of Faith in Place. “We are honored to host such a distinguished lineup of speakers.”

In addition to Owens, the summit welcomes four esteemed speakers from diverse religious traditions: Dr. Melanie Harris, Rabbi Ora Nitkin-Kaner, Gopal D. Patel and Hilary Giovale.
