It will begin by explaining that social practices are religious when they reference or include a spiritual dimension. That dimension may be drawn from an established religious tradition or from a wide range of other cultural sources. These practices can take place both inside and beyond religious institutions. The talk will pay special attention to the way religious practices are shaped by cultural, institutional, and legal contexts, as well as by religious traditions themselves \u2013 what is encouraged, taken for granted, or constrained.\u00a0 Special attention will be directed to the multi-dimensionality of religious social practices, including their material and bodily expressions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Event Details:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc5 Friday, 10 July 2026<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd51 16:00 EEST<\/p>\n<p>\u2705<strong>Register for free \u2192 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/tXqkwj7pbTZCkgjG8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/forms.gle\/tXqkwj7pbTZCkgjG8<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n\ud83d\udcbb Join us online via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/meet.google.com\/xvj-ogxd-woc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Meet: https:\/\/meet.google.com\/xvj-ogxd-woc\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf93 Free &amp; open to all<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nancy T.
