Our spiritual and political homes often hold our fiercest longings — for justice, yes, but also for safety, for belonging, for liberation that embraces our whole selves: messy, sacred, and still unfolding.
And they are also sites of contradiction. Misunderstandings. Heartbreaks. Gaps between who we are and who we wish to become – individually and collectively.
Conflict arises, again and again. What is it trying to teach us?
In this offering, we’ll be joined by three wise leaders and dedicated Dharma practitioners — sujatha baliga, Kazu Haga,and Leah Penniman.
Each has experience to share around building and being in justice-oriented, spirit-led communities that have moved through periods of disharmony and uncertainty, and come through the other side.
Together, we’ll explore how community conflict can be a doorway, not a dead end — and how our spiritual practices, Buddhist and beyond, can support us to navigate these difficult times.
This is not a training or a fix.
It is a space for reflection, witnessing, and shared inquiry — for anyone who has ever wrestled with how to stay in community when things get hard, and still believe in the possibility of repair.
Our very own board prez Jacoby Ballard will guide us in meditation <3
