ALIGNING WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT WE WANT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
Sat Nov 2, 9:30am - 6:00pm / Clouds in Water Zen Center
Registration from $10 and up
Join us for an all-day Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) gathering centering mindfulness and community. We will eat together, practice together, and dialogue about what we have, what we want and need as creative, spiritual BIPOC community members working for social change and personal transformation. Part of the day, we will use Open Space Technology which allows the agenda to emerge from and be shaped by those in attendance. All BIPOC are welcome.
We are inspired by the heartfelt connections generated at past gatherings with Rev. angel Kyodo williams, co-author of Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation. With this event we nurture our community and dialogue in preparation for Rev. angel's visit in 2020 .
Childcare available with advance notice. Registration includes breakfast and lunch.

Hosts: Martín Hernández, Carol Iwata, Jen Racho, Claudette Webster, Marcus Young
