What's the missing link between individual personal transformation and a compassionate, just, and equitable world where everyone can flourish?
Our world is on fire. War, violence, growing economic inequity, institutionalized racism, and a massive ecological crisis threaten the world's well-being and humanity's survival.
Current attempts to enact top-down policies or rely on individual change alone do not address systems of oppression, which live in our bodies and organizations’ cultural practices. Sustainable, lasting change requires that we build cultures of practice rooted in the values, principles, and habits of mind and body that we long to live into. Justice is a practice. Anti-racism is a practice. Beloved community is a practice.
How do we reconcile tremendous suffering with the love and beauty that exists all around us? Learn to cultivate truth-telling, healing-centered, and visionary communities which collaboratively cultivate care, justice, and equity in order to alleviate suffering and help us all thrive.
