We need a dwelling place, not a refuge, where life and the world are imbued with meaning, truth is sought, and forgiveness is experienced. A place where freedom thrives in friendship, not in autonomy; where identity is discovered, not fabricated; where dignity is a given, not a goal. When we find such a place, we grow in certainty and openness to others. It is like a true home, where everything is waiting for us. Join us for a weekend of public discussions, exhibits, and live performances to explore how life, freedom, and affection flourish in this type of belonging.
