How do you live into the edges of your life? What is the meaning in your risk?
Join us for a vibrant exploration of life on the edge featuring international writer, storyteller, theologian/philosopher, and liturgical artist Peter Rollins; singer-songwriter Liz Janes; and local social entrepreneurs Laura Henderson and Derrick Braziel. Enjoy an evening that’s part-talk and part-performance, then enter the conversation in a “mash-up” style Q & A with this eclectic mix of innovators. Moderated by CTS president, Matthew Myer Boulton.
“Living Into the Edge” offers a rare opportunity to engage young, cutting-edge leaders taking risks to transform their respective fields and communities. (Check out page 17 in this week's NUVO to see what Festival Director Pam Blevins Hinkle has to say about it.)

Liz Janes is a multi-talented musician of philosophic wonderings/wanderings who sums up her trajectory by saying, “I never understood the discipline of art, and only enjoyed the spontaneous. Now discipline is my only way to access the spontaneous. This is growing up, and this is growing older.”
