ANNOUNCING A SACIONS MEETING—REIMAGINING OUR WORLD!

February 27, 2022 @ 1:30 p.m.

Cost: FREE
Advance registration required

We are pleased to announce our first general meeting of the year—a 90-minute virtual meeting on Zoom to be held from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Sunday February 27.

In our challenging world today we are engaged in the deep work that Lynne Twist calls Hospicing the Old and Midwifing the New. We see so much of the old systems breaking down, and as Michael Beckwith says, this process is loud, whereas the blossoming of the new is quieter. In the midst of this, Lynne Twist calls us to shine a light on the possibility of life—on new possibilities.

At SacIONS this past year, our leadership team studied the book See No Stranger by Valarie Kaur. Valarie taught us about Revolutionary Love—the importance of Wondering about others, about Grieving losses, and about Fighting for causes or to protect from harm, and about the importance of Listening. And then about the vital importance of Reimagining the world as we would like to see it. This Reimagining work is powerful and we wanted to share it with you!

So, at this event we will be working together on Reimagining. We will screen a couple of wonderful short videos that help stimulate our imagination, and share together our visions of a positive future.

We hope you will be able to join us!

TED Talk by Valarie Kaur

What's the antidote to rising nationalism, polarization and hate? In this inspiring, poetic talk, Valarie Kaur asks us to reclaim love as a revolutionary act. As she journeys from the birthing room to tragic sites of bloodshed, Kaur shows us how the choice to love can be a force for justice.

Valarie Kaur's book See No Stranger has been the basis of our discussions for several months. Valarie's work in human rights and building an equitable world has inspired deep work questioning current structures in our society. We have been using the process of reimagining the structures of education, racial equity, and health care. Her TED talk is an empassioned and eloquent call to change. https://www.ted.com/talks/valarie_kaur_3_lessons_of_revolutionary_love_in_a_time_of_rage?language=en
