The Power of We | Reclaiming Humanity With Love and Solidarity
Our culture must reclaim its humanity.
We first need to diagnose the dis-ease causing our anxiety, divisiveness and despair. Our wisdom traditions teach us that real hope comes through a commitment to love and solidarity. Let’s explore how traditional practices sustained our ancestors as they endeavored to maintain or restore their humanity. In the process, we’re sure to discover insights for our times.
