Join us for a timely and powerful conversation with Konda Mason on how to re-center relationships and nurture beloved community as a response to systems of dehumanization and polarization. Together, we’ll explore what pathways toward deeper trust and equanimity can look like in these uncertain times.
Guiding questions include:
- In what ways do the other three brahmavihārās — loving-kindness, compassion, and appreciative joy — support or deepen the cultivation of equanimity?
- What role does compassion play in healing the divisions within and between us?
- How do we return to connection, commonality, and the spiritual center within ourselves, our communities, and our democracy?
This session looks at the practices of deep listening and collective remembering as vital doorways into compassion and relational grounding. We recognize that the work of bridging divides cannot happen without an embodied understanding that the self is inseparable from the Earth, and without the courage to engage in our own inner healing and transformation. Together, we’ll explore these practices as both personal and collective commitments — a foundation for building bridges across differences and co-creating authentic communities rooted in trust, care, equity, and shared humanity.
