Hearts Strangely Warmed and Awakened Conference

FREE: In-Person Only | 10 a.m – 4 p.m. CST

Join the Center for Asian/Asian American Ministry and the Rueben P. Job Institute as we contemplate how we all have been affected by the devastation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, with communities of color disproportionately and severely impacted by it. Many lives have been lost or sacrificed, and many more lives are engulfed by hardships of all kinds and unresolved and complicated grief. In other words, we are living through a pandemic that is overwhelming our psychological and spiritual resources, relationships, and social intelligence and puts us in a continuous and unremitting heightened state of physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional arousal. This in-person, interactive, and embodied conference will speak to these issues and guide participants in spiritually centering themselves with collective practices that hopefully render their “hearts strangely warmed and awakened.”
