April 16, 2010 – April 17, 2010
The main objective of the 3rd Annual gathering on Decolonizing the Spirituality Conference is to create a space where community building and re-claiming our histories can continue. We recognize that decolonizing the spirit requires decolonizing our minds which will engender a holistic engagement. It requires a critical analysis of knowledge production that has disenfranchised and silenced marginalized individuals. We also recognize that decolonization is a critical process that needs to take place personally, locally and globally. We invite presentations that will address how community building and the continuous re-claiming of our histories are a part of decolonizing the spirit and mind from various perspectives. Decolonization process is not limited to any particular group of people; it is a collective endeavour for many people, by valuing the uniqueness of individuals regardless of race, gender, creed, sexuality or ability. Decolonizing the spirit has been silenced and marginalized as a discourse of embodied knowledges, and it is our fervent endeavour to keep the process of decolonization an ongoing focal point toward liberation for all.
