Embracing a moment of opportunity

A growing number of faith-based asset holders are reckoning with the injustices perpetrated by our dominant investment paradigms.

The Livable Future Investing Workshop creates a space (1) to dialogue about how the limited options afforded by conventional finance constrain our ability to live our faith, and (2) to dream about what we must build in order to truly bring about “faith-first” finance. We seek a “disruption” of “finance as usual” that helps restore reciprocity and solidarity in the realm of business and finance.

We draw upon something old (the wisdom embodied in Catholic Social Tradition) in order to create something new. Our effort roots principally in Pope Francis’ call in Laudato Si’ to hear the “cry of the earth” and the “cry of the poor.”

This initiative is not a Catholics-only effort – nor is it denominational. We believe the principles of Catholic Social Teaching offer a universal framework to help guide our efforts to build the solidarity economy, and ultimately a livable future for people and planet.

Not your typical workshop

You have likely heard from our alumni that this workshop is different from any other professional experience.

Our workshop model combines the spiritual nourishment of a retreat, the intellectual insight of a committed classroom, the warmth of a faith community, the practical tools of a community organizing training, and the graced energy of a prophetic sermon.

We are not aware of anything else quite like it.
