  Beyond Wellness:
  How Restoring the Religious Roots of Spiritual Practices Can Heal Us

  NEW DATE: Monday, September 28, 2026

  Noon - 1 pm ET   Online via Zoom

  Liz Bucar, Ph.D., is a leading public intellectual on religion and culture—a respected Northeastern University professor, award-winning author, and engaging public voice whose Religion, Reimagined newsletter reaches a broad audience. Her new book, Beyond Wellness, examines yoga, meditation, sound baths, and other practices at the heart of contemporary wellness culture.

  In conversation with ICJS Executive Director Heather Miller Rubens, Ph.D., Bucar will explore what is lost when these practices are separated from the religious traditions that shaped them—and how recovering their histories, wisdom, and ethical frameworks can deepen our understanding of wellness, spirituality, and religious difference.

  Aging Grace-Fully Author Series II!

  Thanks once again to a generous grant from the Lutheran Foundation for Long Term Living, we are able to bring eight more authors to our campuses to examine what happens when we grow older and/or care for our aging loved ones.

  Join us, in person or virtually, to seek understanding and acceptance of these challenges in our ongoing series featuring leading authors who share their knowledge and experiences about aging including suffering, love and loss.
