Ecosystems of Compassion Part II
Start: Monday, February 07, 2022• 7:00 PM
Ecosystems of Compassion Part II will be a continuation of the conversation that Becky Field began on November 15. We will explore the role of compassion in the pursuit of social justice, not only for those with whom we're politically or spiritually sympatico, but for those with whom we vehemently disagree. With democracy fraying and our social fabric disintegrating, is it possible to embrace the humanity of our most zealous opponents without compromising our own values? Is there any point in trying? After sharing several of his own experiences with the power of compassionate listening to bridge ideological divides, Joel will invite attendees to reflect on whether and how compassion has - or could - inform their own relationships with social justice.
