- Featured EventRoadmap to Liberation“Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.” The door to liberation is open and there’s no way to jam it closed again. that is, perhaps, the main reason most people don’t open it: we have a knowledge of an essential truth. intuitively, from somewhere deep in our bodies, we know when it is time. time to take ourselves seriously Time to take responsibility for ourselves: our choices, our behaviors, how we show up in the world, and to insist that we show up AS ourselves time to reclaim the parts of ourselves we have left behind for membership in clubs that, in the end, do not return on the investment of that great loss of your truth. Time to stop hiding, making excuses, shifting blame, kicking the can down the road. There will be 6 sessions — 1 Intro and 5 sessions for each pillar of the framework — held over the next month. In the Orientation session on Wednesday, November 2, people will be given an overview and assigned to pods that they’ll be with throughout the program. Program Schedule 4–6pm PT / 7–9pm ET 2-hour sessions Wednesday, November 2: Orientation w/ nykké & Rev. angel Wednesday, November 9: Pillar 1 – Contemplative Approach w/ Rashid Hughes Wednesday, November 16: Pillar 2 – Embodied Practice w/ Jaz Hines Wednesday, November 23: Pillar 3 – Prophetic Praxis w/ adrienne marie brown Wednesday, November 30: Pillar 4 – Liberatory Path w/ Dr. Angel Acosta Wednesday, December 7: Pillar 5 – Collective Process w/ Kerri Kelly Register here: https://www.revan.gl/roadmap22 [...]Read more...

- Featured EventPoint of Belonging: Returning and Reclaiming SelfA Psychotherapy Networker Symposium One insidious by-product of America’s unique history as a nation built over time to have a citizenry comprised of peoples of wildly different backgrounds, is that the fundamental human need to belong is framed, tested and challenged, again and again. Who belongs — and by extension, who one can be, be with, agree with, and love…or should not — has been communicated through history, laws, culture and inheritance. This socially-inherited “politics of disbelonging” puts us in conflict with our innate sense of connection and compassion and corrupts the belonging we yearn for. By drawing forth less-often examined vectors that impact our sense of belonging, Rev. angel Kyodo williams challenges us to disavow fixation on an individual self as the primary source of our psycho-emotional dis-ease. She reveals a stunningly simple, paradoxical antidote: a return to self. Both up-ending and transcending classic Zen & Buddhist-derived teachings, she points the way to a universally-accessible, rigorous, single-pointed and embodied practice of reclaiming the so-called self. Point practices disrupts the disregulation of isolating separation, fragmenting division, and the overwhelm of toxic urgency. In their stead, the foundation of radical personal accountability and acceptance opens the door to true adulting and unfettered love.

Radical Dharma: Talking Race Love and Liberation
Igniting a long-overdue dialogue about how the legacy of racial injustice and white supremacy plays out in society at large and Buddhist communities in particular, this urgent call to action outlines a new dharma that takes into account the ways that racism and privilege prevent our collective awakening.
Radical Dharma is both radical … and courageous. The authors build upon the growing understanding of the connection between personal and societal liberation. Radical Dharma unflinchingly turns this lens to this most challenging and critical nexus of racism and white supremacy…Take the invitation!
It is a beautiful and rare invitation to listen to how ( the Radical Dharma co-authors) transformed their pain. Some of this is familiar…and some of this, for white people, will be new: What does it look like to truly sit with the pain caused by racism in your body? Radical Dharma demands that we step into the circle and ask: How do we restore our humanity? How do we transform ourselves and the world?
Radical Dharma is a clear, honest testimony of the heart from three leaders of our time. You may not always see things just as they do (I didn’t) or even feel like you fully understand it all (again, I didn’t) but that makes it even more important to read.
It is rather astonishing that the Black tradition of continuous and endless enlightenment in this country produces its prophets as if bad laws, discrimination, horrors of financial inequality and so on, do not exist to blight the way.
Justice
“Love and justice are not two.”
How you can actually have that show up in the worldis the tricky part. And it matters.

Planet
“How we treat our planet is rooted in how we treat people in our society.”
Our ecosphere is critical. Rev. angel speaks into the relationship between our social disconnect and how we treat this great planet we all inhabit together.
