Award Application
"Das Jahresmeeting Anfang 2006 stand unter dem Leitgedanken „Nur in liebevoller Zugewandheit und gemeinsam können wir die sozialen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit meistern.“"
From an application for some sort of New Age spirituality award. I have absolutely no idea what the word "Zugewandheit" means and can't find a translation for it anywhere. TIA for any light you can shed on this obscure word.

devotion
