Personal Growth Through Intentional Kindness

As we continue our journey on the tree, we have now come to Chesed. Chesed is the Hebrew word that translates as loving kindness. Bathed in the glow of its benevolent ruler, Jupiter, it represents expansion and Inclusiveness. We have left behind the first three spheres and made it safely across the abyss. On our bodies, Chesed represents our left shoulder and arm. If you have ever given someone a shoulder to cry on, then you have embodied Chesed. This year we focus on offering a helping hand. We look to the structures of our community to set the tone of graciousness and inclusiveness. ConVocation is a convention of the many mystical spiritual paths and faiths and the people that follow them who desire to teach each other and promote fellowship among all esoteric traditions. Since 1995, this 4-day event has brought together over 100 classes and rituals presented by local instructors, internationally renowned guest speakers and authors. Along with workshops, ConVocation offers over 35 tables of merchandise in our Merchant Room, an Art Show and the largest indoor Drum Circle in the Midwest.
