connect.faith - pilot season

the light shines through

One weekend in October 2019 we brought together an amazing group of people who are passionate about creativity, spirituality and justice and set them free to do what they do! To make music and art and dance, share stories and science, talk about practicing justice in everyday life… to be who they are. We are so excited to share the experience of connect.faith with you!
