Everyday Faith: Indigenous People Holy Days
Everyday Faith is an interactive workshop series designed to help you build a more generous, practical understanding of the diverse ways people live and practice their faith — or no faith at all — every single day.
In a world that often pushes us toward quick judgments and polarization, Everyday Faith invites you to slow down, get curious, and engage with the complex ways religion, spirituality, and worldview shape our daily lives.
Everyday Faith: Indigenous People Holy Days will explore faith, spirituality, and worldviews that shape everyday life. Panelists’ reflections will include life cycle events—from births and weddings to illness and funerals—and discuss cultural considerations around holiday celebrations, such as music, food, and clothing practices.
Through these insights, you’ll gain practical tools to better understand and respectfully engage with people of diverse religious, spiritual, and secular identities.
Why Religious Literacy Matters
Understanding religion and worldview diversity is more important than ever — especially in workplaces, schools, and civic life. Religious literacy helps us challenge assumptions, break down stereotypes, and build meaningful relationships across lines of difference. Everyday Faith gives you the skills, confidence, and personal insight to navigate a diverse world with empathy and respect.
The Living Library: Real People, Real Understanding
A signature feature of the Everyday Faith experience is the Living Library — a unique opportunity to engage directly with individuals from a variety of faiths, spiritual paths, and worldviews. Just like checking out a book, you’ll “check out” a person and have a one-on-one or small group conversation where you can ask questions, hear personal stories, and explore perspectives that might be unfamiliar to you.
Facilitators: Rev. Edward Livingston, Director of Community Partnerships and Trina Gary, Facilitator
