Today's multicultural and multifaith environment brings the world into the workplace. Your co-workers and clients belong to spiritual traditions which virtually all correspond to one of three distinct worldviews. Understanding these three simple, fundamental perspectives enables you to work more effectively amidst religious diversity as well as to be a more discerning spiritual seeker in your own life. In this fascinating and enlightening presentation you will discover a framework for relating and communicating more effectively with people of cultures, beliefs and spiritual paths different from your own. Learn how the worldviews of co-workers and clients are shaped by the world's great religions. Do take this unique opportunity to deepen your appreciation of the holy in our rich, multifaith culture. JW Windland is a comparative mythologist and founding director
of the ENCOUNTER WORLD RELIGIONS CENTRE (www.WorldReligions.ca), one of
our associated organizations. For the past thirty years JW has been passionately
involved in experiencing the world's religions firsthand. In addition
to his academic background in religious studies, JW regularly attends
mosques, synagogues, pow-wows, gurdwaras, churches, temples, and covens
as a testimony to his interest and love for the world's great religions.
This background gives JW a personal perspective that is truly unique and
tangible. He has established genuine friendships with and within these
faith groups, joined in their rituals, and introduced literally thousands
of people to these diverse communities. JW is an expert in interreligious
dialogue and in creating comfort across religious and cultural divides.
He brings a familiarity and a deep knowledge of the diverse communities
and traditions that make up the North American mosaic. You can reach JW
at Encounter@WorldReligions.ca. LOCATION: University of Guelph, in the Conference Hall just inside the main doors of the University Centre building. This large grey building is directly ahead when you enter the university grounds from the north side of Stone Road just east of Gordon Street, about 12 km north of the Brock Road exit from Hwy 401. Gordon St. is a continuation of Brock Rd. northbound, becomes Norfolk St. in the centre of town, and is called Woolwich St. in the north end of Guelph. Parking is free after office hours at meters and in the visitors' lot.
Remember to bring your brochures, flyers and business cards for the networking table. |
