Sending Our Love to the Future: THE 3rd NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON THE SPIRITUALITY OF CHILDREN
November 7-11, 2007 Chattanooga, TN
What is the spiritual life and development of children really like?
How can we best nurture the inner lives of our young people?
The diversity of disciplines and traditions gathered together catalyzes unusually rich and unexpected dialogue. The conference will include small and large group presentations, discussion panels, pre and post conference workshops, and working groups, located in a beautiful environment 90 minutes from Atlanta. This year’s theme, Sending Our Love to the Future, emphasizes integrating insights and “best practices” drawn from neuroscience to the wisdom traditions that can be brought to the mainstream.
