Civic Circle Gathering (Oct. 12)
2022-10-12 14:30 - 15:45 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis)
VIRTUAL EVENT.
Join us as we nurture a spirit of shared civic purpose with poetry, music, and small dialogue groups.
Spirit & Place invites you to reflect on our democracy and grapple with what it means to live by America’s civic values during its “Civic Circle” gatherings.
Using the civic reflection dialogue method, these participatory gatherings – you’ll be doing most of the talking! – will focus on the words, deeds, and imagery of our nation’s past. By unpacking our civic values together, we can better support each other in living by those values.
Don’t be surprised by a little poetry and/or music thrown into the mix when we can!

Powerful Conversations on Race (Oct. 2022)
2022-10-09 11:00 - 13:00
Powerful Conversations on Race [PCR] is a monthly community dialogue series exploring topics around race and racism and the resulting impact.
Powerful Conversations on Race is a way for us to get comfortable talking about uncomfortable histories and is, therefore, rooted in historical documents and subject matter.
This IS NOT a lecture or book club, but a space for community to come together and dive deeply into a variety of topics concerning race. This is an immersive experience. As such, we’ll spend a considerable amount of time in small groups to dialogue with each other about these topics.
All dialogues are virtual and occur on Eastern Standard Time / Eastern Daylight Time.
Registration ends at 12noon on the day of the event. A Zoom link is sent prior to the event start time.
