“When we can see ourselves as we truly are and accept ourselves, we build the necessary foundation for self-love…whether we learn how to love ourselves and others will depend on the presence of a loving environment. Self love cannot flourish in isolation.” - bell hooks

As the first director of the Bannan Institute (now the Bannan Forum), Robert Senkewicz premised his original vision “on the notion that struggling with the question of our Catholic and Jesuit identity is one way in which we can become a better and more genuine university.” This issue of explore returns to and continues that vision.

GTU Dinner Board Room, 2400 Ridge Road Berkeley, CA 94709
Please join the GTU's Madrasa-Midrasha Program for a poetry reading featuring Naomi Seidman and Nargis Ali-Virani.
This session will explore the intersections between poetry and prayer in the Islamic and Jewish traditions, taking poems by Rumi, Ibn 'Arabi, and Yehuda Amichai as our primary examples. In keeping with the vision of the Madrasa-Midrasha Program we will also focus on how poetry enacts encounter, not only between writer and reader, but also between the human and divine realms and between religious traditions.
