Location: Dallas Meditation Center
810 W. Arapaho Rd, Suite 98, Richardson, TX 75080

Do you find yourself resonating with several religious traditions and teachings? Does your family or your friends have people who practice different religions? How are you doing reconciling the differences within yourself and one another?

Even if these questions don’t apply to you, the retreat may be highly relevant to you if you are concerned with narrative strategies that monopolize the truth, or navigating the large cultural religious landscape. Interfaith leaders Chase Williams and Jiyoon Lee designed this retreat to make space for genuine conversations to integrate interfaith traditions.
