2 ASREAP Conference 2018 New Horizons Spirituality, the Arts and the Imagination in the Year of Youth This year s ASREAP conference will explore the importance that Art and Imagination play in engaging and nurturing spirituality in our contemporary communities. Art, in all its forms, invites us to ponder more deeply, to be truly present and to engage our emotions authentically. The heart of human identity is the capacity and desire for birthing. To be is to become creative and bring forth the beautiful. John O Donohue Our vision and goals are to: 1. engage the heart, mind and body in the activity of spiritual reflection and discernment through the Arts. 2. explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in art and spirituality. 3. discern networking opportunities with other professionals in the Mission and Religious Education landscapes. 4. develop resources and sharing points for spiritual and liturgical activities. Jessica Hackett will share her experience of attempting to bring social justice to the Australian Federal Parliament in the form of a petition supporting asylum seekers and refugee visa applicants. She will also reflect on her experiences using dramatic and multimedia techniques. Social commentator and theologian, David Tacey, will interrogate the role of poetry and art in the Australian psyche. Religious Education academic, Graham Rossiter, will imagine and extrapolate where our religious education system may be headed into the future. Workshops include Drumming for Wellbeing, Crosses of Hope, Sustainable Jewellery, Nurturing the Creative Spirit, Dreaming through Aboriginal Eyes and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Spirituality. Rhianna Patrick (ABC Radio) will emcee our panel of youth discussing the role of art and imagination in contemporary spirituality. Steph Unger (Project Officer, Student Formation for Brisbane Catholic Education) will lead our closing liturgy with the song for the Year of Youth. We welcome your participation in this important event. Andrew Beiers ASREAP President

3 Keynote Speakers Jessica Hackett, Passing on Hope Jessica Hackett had a vision to deliver a message to Parliament, a message of welcome and community. And how effective would that message be, if it were to be walked all the way from Melbourne to Canberra in the height of summer? After many sleepless nights wondering if there was a girl just like her on Nauru, only trapped and afraid, all Jess could think was that we all must have a welcoming spirit within us. So, she set out to find it and had it recorded in the signatures of 17,000 Australians from all over the country. Join Jess on her journey through remote towns and breathtaking landscapes. Walk with Jess as the locals from Euroa walked with her. Sit at the table of resettled refugees and hear their story as they welcome her to their home. Join her futile search for the end of the electric fence and the hilarious attack that follows. David Tacey, The Creative Arts as a Container of Australian Spirituality Professor David Tacey is an Australian cultural analyst, writer and interdisciplinary scholar who is well known in the arts, religious and psychotherapy communities. He is known internationally, especially in the fields of spirituality studies, analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, is a frequent commentator on radio and has appeared numerous times on television. David is invited to speak on issues of spirituality, religious belief and indigenous cultures and his views are sought on mental health, suicide, depression, anxiety, initiation and rites of passage. David is Emeritus Professor of Literature at La Trobe University, Melbourne and Research Professor at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture in Canberra. Born in Melbourne but spending his young adult life in Alice Springs, Aboriginal cultures influenced him greatly and he has maintained a lifelong interest in Aboriginal religions, indigenous health and wellbeing. After studying literature, philosophy and art history at Flinders University, David transferred to the University of Adelaide and completed a PhD in literature and analytical psychology in The following year, he was awarded a Harkness Post-Doctorate Fellowship of the Commonwealth Fund, New York and pursued advanced studies in symbolism and mythology. He studied and travelled extensively in the United States and Mexico. David is the author of 14 books and over 150 articles and essays, some of his writings having been translated into Mandarin, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Graham Rossiter, Educating young people spiritually, morally and religiously for the 21st Century: The role of Catholic School Religious Education The landscape of contemporary spirituality has changed so much that there is a need to re-assess how school religious education can best fulfil two important functions: educating young people well in their own religious tradition, and skilling them to learn how to think critically about the shaping influence of culture. Hopefully this can help them be better informed and more reflective for negotiating a meaningful life through the veritable maze of a rapidly changing and challenging culture. Graham Rossiter is a Professor of Moral and Religious Education. After teaching in Catholic secondary schools in Sydney, he conducted research in Religious Education for the Federal Government and then completed doctoral research on comparative theory for school Religious Education. He specialised in teacher professional development, conducting seminars in Australia and the Pacific, Hong Kong, North America, Europe and South Africa. He has been working in religious education at university level for many years and has published widely including, Reasons for living: Education and young people s search for meaning, identity and spirituality (ACER, 2006), Research on retreats (ACU, 2016). ASREAP delegates attending the full conference will be given a copy of the new book Life to the full: The changing landscape of contemporary spirituality Implications for Catholic School Religious Education (ASMRE, 2018).

4 Workshops Tim Orgias, Drumming for Wellbeing Tim Orgias is the director of InRhythm. He has a passionate interest in the healing power of rhythm, group drumming, and meditation. His extensive fifteen years experience and research into the therapeutic benefits of meditative drumming, coupled with his natural ability to facilitate the recognition of our underlying unity, has seen Tim and InRhythm enjoy huge success within a broad range of service areas in the field of Health and Wellness. Tim is the creator of a Drum Circle Facilitator Training Program that is unique in its field and delivers ongoing lifestyle benefits to its participants. Vicki Clark, Crosses of Hope Vicki Clark is a former Coordinator of the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry Victoria. She has committed twenty five years of service to the Australian Catholic Church, Catholic Education and Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Vicki has taken a leading role in the national Reconciliation process and is the former Co-Chair of Reconciliation Victoria. She volunteers her time as a Founding Trustee of Opening the Doors Foundation (which supports and encourages the participation of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Catholic education); and as a director of Yingadi Aboriginal Corporation, and Indigenous corporation dedicated to nurturing Indigenous spirituality and preservation of culture. Literally, Vicki has opened the doors to so many organisations and schools over her lifetime. A proud Mutthi Mutthi woman, Vicki is a true leader of her choice, combining her Christian beliefs and Aboriginal spirituality. Crosses of Hope is a hands-on session of art and spirituality. Clare Poppi, Sustainable Jewellery Clare Poppi is an artist living and working in Brisbane. After graduating from Brigidine College Indooroopilly in 2003 and achieving first class honours in Fine Art, she received an ArtStart Grant from the Australia Council for the Arts and has continued to make art, establishing a studio space with three other jewellers.
