Only 9 More Days of Festival Fun!
“We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.”
J.K. Rowling, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination,”
commencement address, Harvard University, June 2008.

What do you imagine? What might we imagine together for the life of the world today and tomorrow?

Find out during the final days of the Spirit & Place Festival, which features performances, workshops for children and adults, films, panel discussions, exhibits, a festival, worship services, and more! Unleash your own creative power, explore provocative ideas, and learn how imagination can bring us together. J.K. Rowling also noted that imagination is “arguably the most transformative and revelatory capacity; it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”
