Stories are shaped by who we imagine the storyteller to be. Our worldview, our theologies, our spiritual inkings about creation and our origins cannot be separated from how we tell our stories, from who we name as heroes and who we name as villains, and from who we think might be speaking in the voice of the story itself. In this interactive workshop and shared exploration, Jim Bear Jacobs takes us on a journey through the creation myth of Genesis as viewed through a Native and Indigenous lens. By using an Indigenous frame that acknowledges multiple story-tellers and multiple meanings, Jim Bear offers a prism in which Genesis becomes a story about Native ways of being, about the power of the Divine feminine, and about a return to our own humanity. In doing so, Jim Bear leads us away from many of the patriarchal and colonial frames used by Christian Supremacy to separate us from our most sacred interconnection. In this month of November, you're invited to join the Kaleo Center in dreaming and yearning towards this sacredness - with the land, with our stories, and with one another. All are welcome and registration is free.

Join in solidarity with the Twin Cities Interfaith Community to celebrate God's generosity and to express our gratitude in story and song. This annual event is shared among the downtown Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faith communities of Minneapolis, whose clergy gather throughout the year for shared learning, mutual support, and common mission. This is an opportunity to bring those communities together in recognition of the many ways we're bound together in life, work, and witness. This year's event will be hosted by Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral and our preacher will be Imam Makram El-Amin of Masjid An-Nur in North Minneapolis. Doors open at 9 a.m.
