Present at the 12th International Spirituality Conference in Calgary

We are excited to co-sponsor the conference with our colleagues at the Canadian Society for Spirituality and Social Work. We'll convene at the University of Calgary for this transdisciplinary conference that aims to explore the evolving role of spirituality in addressing systemic and social transformation. In an era marked by rapid changes and global challenges, cultivating relationships and connectedness, belonging, and well-being are essential for fostering personal, community, and global flourishing. This conference will bring together academics, practitioners, students, and advocates interested in the intersection of spirituality and systemic change. We invite you to submit abstracts for presentations, workshops, and discussions that highlight research, pedagogy, practices, and innovative ideas related to the conference theme.

Submit your abstract by January 15, 2025. We can't wait to see you there!

Mission Statement

The Society for Spirituality and Social Work is a network of social workers and other helping professionals dedicated to spiritually sensitive practice and education. We seek to encourage, honor, and nurture the diverse religious and non-religious paths, resources, and traditions that offer meaning and support to people, including ourselves. We are committed to promoting well-being and justice for all people and all beings. Our events and materials are designed to promote research, development of theory, and dissemination of innovations for practice and policy related to spirituality in our profession. In our gatherings, we celebrate the values of dignity, interdependence, compassion, respect, peace, justice, and connection with that which people feel is most significant or sacred.
