The Jesuit Forum is based in Tkaronto, on land that has been taken care of, for thousands of years, by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject to the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an inspiring agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on this beautiful land, with gorgeous trees and lakes. We hope to grow more conscious and appreciative of this life community, of its Indigenous history, presence and wisdom.
We seek to promote Social Faith and Justice through “Listening circles” so that we can help our polarized world grow in common understanding and harmony for the sake of right relationships.

The Jesuit Forum promotes a small group dialogue process inviting participants to tap into the energy of their deep aspirations for a just and sustainable world and to regain a sense of agency and hope to engage current social and ecological issues.
