Interfaith Compassion Call, Orientation
Virtual
About This Event
Thanks for signing up for our 21-Day Interfaith Compassion Challenge. To kick things off, we start with a 2-hour orientation meeting to share some background context, get to know each other a little bit, and cover the nuts and bolts of our three week journey together.
More than anything else, it is a celebration of our shared universal values! Although we're physically distributed across 65 countries, this is an occasion to bring our minds and hearts together, in the spirit of igniting ripples of compassion. We hope you can join us!
Alongside some fun surprises, our call will be brimming with sacred evocations ...
Inspiring Ideas: Rabbi Ariel Burger (long-time student of Elie Wiesel), Ven. Karma Lekshe (pioneering Buddhist nun), and a blessing from Pierre Pradervand.- Sacred music: Persian song from Haleh Liza Gafori, rap from Nimo, a mesmerizing song by Nina, and Rev. Heng Sure on his guitar and banjo!
- Stories from everyday heroes! Including all of us, via breakout sessions and more.
