"Us all standing on your body
Floating through outer space
I bow to your love
And intrinsic intelligence"
-Alixa Garcia
"This is how we nurture love. This is how we build belonging. We can build a circle of humanity where no one is outside.” -john a. powell
Join us on Sunday, December 5th for A Bridge to Belonging: The Practice of Beloved Community with celebrated author and professor john a. powell (Director of the Othering & Belonging Institute) and beloved artist, activist & poet Alixa Garcia (co-founder of Climbing PoeTree).
We are fundamentally interconnected as a human family yet the chasm of separation meets us on all sides. At a time when our world needs the heart and wisdom of all of us, how can we build bridges across our divides and weave the fabric of beloved community? What are the principles and practices for bridging that will allow us to find healing and belonging together? Join us as we explore the power of bridge-building, love, vulnerability and co-creating a bigger We that welcomes us all.
