SUMMARY:Charter for Compassion - National Day of Compassion
DESCRIPTION: \nTo support Australians in coming together with care and compassion – each year the Australian Compassion Council holds a National Day of Compassion that offers a meaningful opportunity for all Australians to participate in learning about and practicing compassion.   \nThe National Day is always held on 21 September\, which is also the International Day of Peace. This is the third year this National Day has been convened\, and the theme is Compassion and Deep Wisdom.  \nThe Day will start with a launch that includes Marilyn Turkovich\, CEO of the global Charter for Compassion; Australian Ambassador\, Hugh MacKay on the Deep Wisdom of Community; Tania Rossi\, the great grand-daughter of Aunty Marg Tucker who in 1932 establish one of the country’s first Aboriginal organisations\, the Victorian Aborigines League – Tania will reflect on Indigenous wisdom. Members of the Australian Compassion Council will also provide an outline of the inspiring events occurring throughout the rest of the Day. \nThen commencing at 9.00am and finishing at 6.30pm you are invited to attend as many those sessions of your choice. These sessions feature foremost international and Australian thinkers reflecting on a wide array of aspects of deep wisdom including as it applies to compassionate social infrastructure in our cities; to the strategic work of corporate boards; to the Indigenous insight into interdependence; to the Buddhist path to wisdom; to how it’s expressed across all age groups; in spiritual leadership in times of crisis; on how wisdom can guide political decision-making; in peaceful transformational change in society; and in creative and futurist thinking in the vital area of education. You can join these free online sessions to discuss the presentations (some live & some recorded) and contribute your own reflections on these thought-provoking issues. \nTake a day to pause and join the Australian Compassion Council in Deep Dreaming Australia A Continent for Compassion – commencing with our online launch at 8.00am (AEST)\, our sessions throughout the day and the final session at 6pm to ‘drop-in’ and reflect on what you will take away from the 2023 National Day of Compassion. \n Register for the launch event session 8am to 9am: https://old.charterforcompassion.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=319 \nRegister for the National Day Sessions – 9am – 6.30pm     https://old.charterforcompassion.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=309 \nMore information – Dr Lynne Reeder\, National Lead Australian Compassion Council Ph) 03 5327 6943

SUMMARY:Road to the Referendum
DESCRIPTION:The Raising Peace Festival for 2023 is launching with an event that updates us on Australia’s most significant peace event for 2023 – the referendum on the Voice to Parliament. \nJust before the final weeks of the campaign we will hear from Yes23\, the official Voice campaign\, on what we can all do to ensure the success of the referendum.This session will feature an Acknowledgement of Country from Uncle Shane Charles\, speakers Thomas Mayo\, Danny Gilbert from Gilbert + Tobin and Jade Ritchie from the Yes23 campaign and plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions. \nJade Ritchie – Yes23 Campaign Spokesperson \nJade is from the Bunda Clan of the Gooreng Gooreng Nation and grew up on her Grandmother’s country in Bundaberg\, QLD. She’s lived on Larrakia Country for the past 10 years and is an advocate for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Jade has extended that advocacy to be a spokesperson for the Yes Campaign in the lead up to Referendum 2023. Jade continues to passionately advocate for social justice and for the First Peoples of Australia to be recognised in the Constitution by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. \n  \n  \nA second event during the festival will take a step back and look at the Statement from the Heart\, signed at Uluru\, in its entirety\, and consider what it means for all of us as a step in restorative justice for Australia. \nThe ‘Yes’ image used here is the copyright of the Northern Land Council (https://www.nlc.org.au/the-voice).

SUMMARY:Unpacking the Statement from the Heart
DESCRIPTION:‘Voice\, Treaty\, Truth’ is only the start. Wiradjuri priest\, writer and artist Glenn Loughrey has looked deeply at the Uluru Statement from the Heart and finds in it powerful potential for restorative justice in Australia – and more. In this session he will be in conversation with Emma Yates\, a lawyer and mediator with a keen interest in restorative principles and practice. \nGlen Loughrey \nGlenn is a Wiradjuri man. He is a leader at the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University in Canberra and the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne’s Educator and Advocate for the Voice. He is the chairperson of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican Council\, the vicar of St Oswald’s in Glen Iris and artist in residence at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Melbourne. Glenn is  the author of three books and is the author of Unpacking the Statement from the Heart A Personal Perspective from a Wiradjuri Man\, a paper written under the banner of the Crawford School of Public Policy. The views expressed in this perspective belong to Glenn alone are the fruit of deep reflection. It is vital that we listen and appreciate the different perspectives of First Nations people\, and understand the question confronting us as Australians. \nEmma Yates \nEmma Yates is a non-Indigenous Australian\, a mediator with a keen interest in restorative justice\, a recent Master of Peace and Conflict Studies graduate\, and passionate about relational peacebuilding. Emma first heard from Uncle Glenn Loughrey during the Initiatives of Change ‘Turruk’ program in 2021. She was deeply challenged by his call to non-Indigenous Australians to first acknowledge and reconcile inside ourselves our own place in colonisation\, before talking about (re)conciliation\, and feels privileged to engage in this conversation with Uncle Glenn.

SUMMARY:Minors & Missiles
DESCRIPTION:In 2022 Medical Association for Prevention of War (MAPW) released a comprehensive report about the growing intrusion of multinational weapons companies into primary and secondary STEM education. Weapons companies seek to create positive brand association in minors and their families\, to promote and normalise careers in the development of lethal technology\, and generate social license for the trillion-dollar global trade in arms through their association with STEM education programs. \nIntrusion into children’s education is the beginning of a comprehensive pipeline that continues into the tertiary education sector\, where weapons companies are involved in bursaries\, research\, scholarships\, laboratories and more. \nThis session will illustrate the issue of harmful influence in education\, and show how we have successfully pushed back. By changing policies\, advocating to STEM programs\, promoting positive examples\, forging alliances\, and withdrawing social licence\, we can continue to make a difference. \nElise West from MAPW will present.

SUMMARY:A Multifaith Meditation on Peace
DESCRIPTION:The Faith Communities Council of Victoria\, the Victorian Council of Churches\, Humanists Australia\, Religions for Peace Australia and others have chosen reflections\, prayers\, meditations and songs that inspire a longing for peace from diverse faiths and other traditions. Peaceful relationships and peaceful communities are central in all faith traditions and these voices are important to hear to inspire us to work for peace.

Even if you are not “religious” or “spiritual” we hope this session will inspire you.
