Virtual Conference
Friday April 4 & Saturday April 5
The 2025 North American Hindu Chaplains Association (NAHCA) Annual Conference celebrates journeys in spiritual care-giving.
Our dynamic speakers include both experienced chaplains and those currently pursuing chaplaincy training. They will share their insights on Hindu spiritual care-giving across community, healthcare, and higher education settings, underscoring the vital need for robust chaplaincy education. Attendees will find valuable skill-building opportunities to advance their careers in spiritual care through sessions that include textual interpretations towards spiritual care-giving, essential competencies that hiring managers expect, chaplaincy education opportunities, and a spiritual journey to the Maha KumbhaMela featuring captivating photos and videos.
Join us for an inspiring exchange of insights and experiences as we voyage into the practical, theoretical and joyful dimensions of Hindu spiritual care.
