Chantal sanchez

Master of Theological Studies at Harvard Divinity School 

During Chantal’s undergraduate career, she had the opportunity to study abroad in India and Nepal. In Jaipur, India she participated in a 3week Hindi language intensive immersion program at a home-stay. In Kathmandu, Nepal, she studied in the Fall semester at a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery and did yoga with her host family every day. 

Influenced by her life, surrounded by many people of diverse backgrounds and faith traditions, Chantal is eager to foster positive exchanges within interreligious and intercultural dialogues. She is a firm believer in what the great Swami Vivekananda proclaimed: “All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.” 

We can never see every avenue before us, we can only take a step forward and begin from there.
