As we enter the reflective season of Lent, Feeding Faith, Not Just Appetite invites us to consider how our daily food choices can become acts of compassion—for our bodies, our communities, and creation. This Learning Lab explores practical, meaningful ways to align what’s on our plates with our values, offering simple steps that nurture the planet while deepening our spiritual practice. People from all major faith and indigenous spiritual traditions around the world call us to live with compassion, care for creation, and ethical stewardship of the earth — this event invites everyone to explore what that shared calling means in our daily lives from the choices we make.
Join us for a thoughtful and uplifting conversation that will leave you inspired, empowered, and ready to make every meal a small but powerful expression of faithful stewardship. RSVP today and share with friends and family!
