Justice, Peace, and Environment in the World House

On Wednesday July 13, we enjoyed two workshops: "building a spiritual & interfaith identity" led by Tilda Cantwell, and "peacemaking & leadership skills." We also walked to the edge of Brandeis' campus to embark on a journey through nature in the woods, while it also happened to be raining. We were challenged to put the uncomfortable weather behind us and focus on a meditative walk through a mysterious wooded path. This exercise helped us connect with nature because our environment is a key component of this "World House" that we are highly responsible to take care of. We finished the day with a celebration of ice cream, and dancing around to an IFYI program leader's live guitar playing.
