Bridging Spirituality and Activism

Bridging the world of spirit and activism, Rev angel Kyodo williams and Sharon Salzberg will explore love of self and love of others and the social transformations they move us towards. Through dialogue, reflection and meditation practice, together we will look at questions like: What is the difference between loving yourself and narcissistic preoccupation?  How do racism and privilege prevent our collective awakening? How can each one of us affect the shortcomings not only of our own minds but also of our communities? If you believe that social transformation and personal, spiritual liberation are inextricably linked, these kinds of questions form the frontier of that linkage.This program is co-sponsored by the Garrison Institute and the Community Meditation Center of New York (CMC).

Called “the most intriguing (and vocal) African-American Buddhist” by Library Journal, angel Kyodo williams is an author, activist, master trainer and founder of the Center for Transformative Change. She is one of only three black women Zen “Senseis” or teachers.  For over 20 years, angel has deeply invested in her unwavering belief that the key to transforming society is transforming our inner lives. She applies wisdom teachings and embodied practice to intractable social issues at the intersections of climate, racial and economic justice, and is a preeminent thought leader of Transformative Social Change. Her newest book collaboration, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation will be available for sale and signing.Bridging Spirituality and Activism
