Rapidly-changing times like these can inspire a "fight, flight, or freeze" response. How can we, instead, foster hope in ourselves and the faith communities we lead? And how can we take action, as individuals, faith communities, and the wider interfaith community, to build a better world?
On March 19, join spiritual leaders from across the community at the JCC for the next We Have To Talk conversation. Come ready to share a practice, an orientation of the spirit, or a concrete project or activity that is helping you move toward hope and action at this time. Come ready to see friends, to make new connections, and to cultivate a community of support and solidarity across our diverse traditions.

Our time together will also include opportunities for physical movement as we consider making this move in our spirits. Cantor Julie Newman will lead us in a movement-based guided meditation. Thanks to the generosity of St. John's Lutheran Church in North Versailles, we will also be able to walk a full-sized replica of the Chartres labyrinth together.
Admission is free, and registration (at casp.org/wehavetotalk#mar19) is much appreciated but not required.
This event is intended for spiritual leaders: clergy and religious and those holding lay leadership roles in houses of worship and faith institutions across Southwest Pennsylvania. Let's come together. We have to talk.
