SUMMARY:Engaging the Stories that Shape Us: An Evening with Kaitlin Curtice
DESCRIPTION:Stories keep us human\, connected to the core of who we are and what we want to pass on to future generations.” Passion kindles behind Kaitlin Curtice’s eyes as she discusses her most recent book\, Everything Is A Story: Reclaiming the Power of Stories to Heal and Shape Our Lives. On March 11 at 6:00 PM CT\, Curtice will lead a reading and workshop at the Evanston Public Library\, the capstone event in a visit to Garrett Seminary where she will also guide students about how they can employ storytelling in their ministries. The library event\, however\, is free and open to the public—inviting everyone and anyone to consider how our lives are shaped by stories\, and the ways we can harness narrative to better root ourselves for growth and healing. Organized and sponsored by Garrett’s Center for Ecological Regeneration\, this expansive invitation bears the characteristic generosity of Curtice’s prose\, beckoning the world toward transformation. “Stories are the music we set to our own survival as humans\,” she observes. “Communities\, peoples\, and cultures have survived\, thrived\, and endured really difficult times through storytelling.”

SUMMARY:Embodied Leadership: Practicing Inner Work as Political Action
DESCRIPTION:Embodied Leadership: Practicing Inner Work as Political Action is an 8-week immersive journey designed for social changemakers\, movement leaders\, healers\, and practitioners who are ready to deepen their leadership from the inside out. This course invites participants to remember leadership as an embodied practice—one that integrates body\, mind\, spirit\, and collective wisdom. Through the lenses of politicized somatics\, polyvagal theory\, grief tending\, deliberate care\, and trauma-informed awareness\, we will explore how our bodies carry histories of power\, resilience\, and adaptation—and how reclaiming our embodied intelligence transforms how we lead\, relate\, and create change. Participants will learn to recognize their conditioned tendencies and nervous system patterns\, build embodied resilience\, and cultivate the capacity to lead from grounded presence. Each week offers a blend of somatic practices\, reflective dialogue\, and teaching to support integration and alignment. This course is for those who sense that inner work is political work—and who long to lead with more authenticity\, integrity\, connection\, and care in service to collective liberation. $1000\, Sliding Scale available\, for an online synchronous cohort experience with Jia Johnson.

SUMMARY:Black Theology for a World in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:“Black theology has always been clear about what it feels like to be in a body that is seen as problematic. What does it mean to be treated as someone who does not belong\, someone whose presence makes other people feel uncomfortable\, angry\, or disturbed?” Dr. Anthony Reddie is the professor of Black theology and director of the Centre for Black Theology at the University of Oxford. Britain’s preeminent Black theologian\, he is the author of many texts including\, recently\, Introducing James H. Cone: A Personal Exploration and Theologising Brexit: A Liberationist and Postcolonial Critique. \nOn March 19\, 4:00 p.m. CST\, Dr. Reddie will deliver the 3rd Annual James H. Cone and Emilie M. Townes lecture at Garrett’s Chapel of the Unnamed Faithful\, and streamed free online. In his address\, Dr. Reddie will reflect on how Black theology can diagnose the evils of Christian nationalism\, and the ways that migrants are treated in the United States and throughout the world. A crucial word for a world in crisis\, we invite you to join us as we reflect on the work to which God calls us. \nClick here to read an interview with Dr. Reddie\, for more information about how Drs. Cone and Townes influenced him as a scholar\, and what he plans to discuss in his lecture.

SUMMARY:A Student Salon: The Rise of Religious Nationalism

Where is it? Who is it? Why is it? \nThe facilitators of this salon will be: \n\nBarry E. Bryant is the Associate Professor of United Methodist Wesleyan Studies.
