Join us for a grounding, soul nourishing experience.  Join us to build the beloved community.  

We will be allowing ourselves to feel and honor our collective pain about what is happening in the world.  When we give ourselves permission to feel our pain,  energy is freed up which can then be used to put our compassion into action. 

During this sacred activism workshop, we will be practicing the world we want to see in the spaces between us.  We will engage in Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects, a form of group work designed to foster the desire and ability to take part in the healing of the world.  In addition, we will be practicing nonviolent communication in order to have the skills to communicate with people whose views are different from our own.   

According to civil rights leader Valarie Kaur, “Revolutions do not happen only in grand moments in public view but also in small pockets of people coming together to inhabit a new way of being. We birth the beloved community by becoming the beloved community.”
