Stony Point Center in Stony Point, NY is seeking Jewish, Christian, and Muslim young adults ages 19 to 29 for its free, residential, multifaith peace, justice, and earthcare Summer Institute happening from July 5 to August 15, 2017!
Stony Point Center Summer Institute offers “the opportunity to live in a supportive community with peers from different faiths and with similar interests. Together we will study and share the three Abrahamic traditions, what they teach about social activism, nonviolence and justice, and apply them to personal and social transformation as we strengthen our relationship to the earth” (Stony Point Center).
The Summer Institute is multi-dimensional. The students will:
- engage in multifaith study and dialogue
- grow in their relationship to the land and to each other through farming
- live together in community
- study nonviolent approaches to justice and peace
If you are accepted into the Summer Institute, there is no charge beyond the cost of travel and personal expenses. Travel scholarships may be available once a student is accepted. Room, meals, Institute transportation, and laundry are covered.
