Join your fellow Jain young professional for a session on kitchen basics for quick, healthy (and Jain if you want!) eating. Pujen will provide resources and talk through the staples you should keep in your kitchen. You'll get to taste along the way and try out your culinary creativity at the end! Cooking doesn't have to be scary - come find out how.
Jainism & Society Shrenik Shah Diversity & Inclusion | HS Do you believe there are gender inequalities at temples? Do you feel the need to censor yourself on social media? Ever think about society without Jain Principles? Have you considered growing up in society without Jain principles? Join us in this interactive session to explore various inequalities, stereotypes, and privileges that exist in our Jain culture. Come with an open mind, a willingness to share, and respect for each other.
Jainism 101 Yogendra Jain Jain Education | HS/College In this session, we will lay the foundation necessary to understand many other subjects and discussions. Topics will include core Jain beliefs, soul and karma theory, some history, tattvas, a new modern and relevant Jain meditation, and an elevator pitch on Jainism!
Jainism and Art Puja Savla Jain Lifestyle | HS/College Art communicates the political, spiritual, and philosophical ideas of an artist. Likewise, it is also a lens into the artist's emotions about a particular topic. In this session, you will be able to express your artistic emotions through the lens of Jainism. No artistic experience required!
Jainism and Justice: Career Paths from Law to Business to Science and Beyond Hetali Lodaya Career & Networking HS/College You want to translate the Jain principles of compassion and non-violence into your college major or career - but don't have the first clue what that looks like. If business means making money, law means arguing, and medicine means science and long hours, what does that have to do with being Jain? What else is out there? Debunk the myths and learn about career paths you've never considered that will allow you to use your power to make the world a better place.
Jainism and World Religions | Anish Doshi, Parshva Vakharia, Sidhant Gandhi Diversity & Inclusion HS Join us as we have an open discussion about different religions across the world and how they correlate or differ from Jainism. This session is intended to be an open discussion, so we can talk about an interesting topic you are interested in!
