About This Event

For the last 21 days, people from dozens of countries around the globe convened to deep-dive into interfaith practices of compassion!  Every day featured a unique faith, with related "hands" practice, "head" insights from scripture, and "heart" music and art. Collectively spanning thousands of reflective posts and interactions, we embraced different faiths and practices -- and each other's hearts -- to discover an underlying river of compassion flowing underneath it all. We expanded, we stretched, we discovered. And for so many of us, we transformed.

This weekend, we are coming together one last time to share inspiration, songs and gratitude for shared values. All last three calls were brimming with sacred joy, and we'd love to have you join this closing call, broaden our circle of love, and help spread the ripples of goodwill into all directions! Please RSVP below to join our 2-hour closing call.

Alongside stories from everyday heroes of interfaith and compassion, we're also honored to host renowned peace activist Sami Awad from the Middle East, Yuka Saionji from Japan, mystic Indigo Ocean and interfaith pioneer Bishop Swing. In honor of Gandhi's birthday, we feel particularly grateful to have a musical offering from young women joining us live from the Gandhi Ashram in India!

Thank you for cultivating this context of universal values!
