Inspiring Minds – September 2021

Sustaining Social Change Movements through Kinship and Contemplative Practice

Inspiring Minds: Live Conversations Offering Wisdom for Our Time

Out-of-control forest fires and a rise in homelessness are potent reminders of our disconnection from one another and the earth. Contemplative traditions have long helped build resilience and strengthen social change movements. Join us in conversation with Adam Bucko, an Episcopal priest and activist who has spent 15 years working with homeless youth in New York City, and Fred Bahnson, award-winning writer and author of Soil and Sacrament. Along with a musical offering from artists Holy River, the episode will explore:

  • How Christian contemplative practice can reinforce our sense of interconnection, reciprocity, and kinship
  • What activists and researchers are learning about the role of contemplative practice in alleviating burnout and building effective movements for social change
