17th Annual Kateri Peace Conference - 2015

We have been told that if you repeat a lie often enough it will become the truth. Yet experience demonstrates that ignoring or denying the truth often exacts a heavy price leading to delusion and a self destructive disconnect from reality.

Sometimes we are deceived and sometimes we deceive ourselves. Kierkegaard stated this succinctly: “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”  

Our conference is structured around the theme of truthelling. Each presenter will be asked to consider the following questions in light of their work and personal experience.  

Question 1: With reference to your work, what are the essential truths we should know towards understanding this moment in history?  

Becoming Powerful Vehicles of Truth & Love

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.”       Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The purpose of this spiritual retreat is to experience a return to the Sacred. The Sacred around us, within us, and within others.  Many of us are truthtellers, many of us want peace, many of us want to experience love, however it is far more complex than we realize.  We must first remember to return to the Sacred, recognizing it within ourselves and each other.

There are a number of options for participating in the 17th Annual Kateri Tekakwitha Peace Conference.
