Imagining Justice: A Learning Lab for Leaders and Justice Promoters

May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to God’s call...
Ephesians 1:18

Imagining Justice is a gathering of those in elected leadership and justice ministry to assist them to together:

  • Integrate the work of justice as constitutive of Catholic Christians rooted in the gospel message;
  • Deepen the spirituality that undergirds our work for justice;
  • Enhance our skills in being effective agents of justice in our world;
  • Maintain a focus on systemic change;
  • Strengthen collaboration between elected leaders and justice promoters.

The gatherings are structured to include space for fellowship, deep and courageous conversation, imagining together the work of justice from an evolutionary perspective and contemplative integration.

Imagining Justice is offered in the spring of even numbered years and is open to LCWR members and to justice promoters.

The retreat/workshop will explore the ability to envision and maintain hope during times of individual and community challenge. Carrie will use music, poetry, reflective writing, and small and large group conversation to explore the personal stories and practices that keep us resilient and help us to stay centered in daily, faithful, life-giving action. Participants will discover the things that have helped them maintain hope and find meaning in the beautiful not yet, as well as the hope maintained through the power of the gathered community.
