Spirituality, Liberation and the Stories that Make Us

How can spirituality not silence the body, but instead allow it to come alive? How do we honor, lament and heal from the stories we inherit? How can we find peace in a world overtaken by dislocation, noise and unrest? Writing memorably of her childhood and coming to self, Cole Arthur Riley boldly explores some of the most urgent questions of life and faith. 

Cole Arthur Riley is the author of This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation and the Stories that Make Us, a New York Times best-selling memoir, and Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human. 

The event is free and open to the public.

If you can't attend in person, you can watch a livestream at CalLutheran.edu/live.
