The politics of fear surrounds us as self-serving leaders manipulate the public discourse in order to destabilize, fragment and control. Scare tactics abound and are clearly evident and dangerous.
At the same time there is much to feel uncertain about. Rising inequality and economic injustice tear at the roots of our social fabric and personal sustainability.
We have an amazing array of talented presenters this year along with Imam Djafer Sebkhaoui and Father Mark Steed who are leading our spiritual retreat. Biographies and our conference schedule is just inside. Information on Imam Sebkhaoui and Father Steed is found in the retreat section.
Exploring the Path through Two Spiritual Traditions
This year's Kateri Conference retreat is structured to provide a deep spiritual centering as the ground for our efforts to understand more fully and confront more effectively the culture of fear, militarism and war engulfing our society. We also hope to develop an understanding that speaks to the commonality of our differing faith traditions, allowing retreat attendees to enjoy a day of spiritual community,interacting with each other as cherished neighbors. In that light, this year, we have invited retreat leaders from two different spiritual traditions to guide our day's journey.
