Spiritual Radicals: Saints and Bodhisattvas of the Beloved Community Speaker Series, I co-teach this monthly group with my partner, Father Adam Bucko, a Christian contemplative and an Episcopal priest. We will meet on the last or next-to-last Tuesday of the month from 7:30 - 9 pm ET

In a world filled with violence, division, and institutions and leaders who often seem untrustworthy, we are more in need than ever of signs and symbols to guide us. Our divisions and injustices cry out for transformation. What might a path toward the beloved community look like? Who would guide us, who would help us find the way?

This season, we’re launching a speaker series to explore these questions. Each event will include time for meditation and a speaker who will share about a saint or bodhisattva—figures who embody the values and aspirations of the beloved community. Some of these guides will come from Buddhist traditions, some from Christian, and some will transcend any single category. Our speakers, who have either studied directly with these figures or deeply engaged with their lives and teachings, will lead us in reflection.

We invite you to join us on this journey into the heart of the beloved community. Together, we’ll explore how to process the challenges in our world and find ways forward—through actions, spiritual practices, and inner healing—so we may become a source of healing and hope for the world around us.

Purpose: how to befriend historical figures who can inspire our engaged spiritual journeys, especially in times that are difficult.
