Join the Garrison Institute Fellows for this virtual retreat via Zoom on Thursday, December 15, 2022.
Who am I in relationship to a culture, a civilization, and a species that no longer corresponds to the thriving of life?
How can music, art, and meditation facilitate unlikely friendships?
Can we end racism in one generation?
What is the dream of awareness?
What does the universe want to become?
How do we envision a more compassionate world?
Garrison Institute Fellows are thrilled to invite you to Nurture Relational Sensemaking through a series of public dialogues and practices at the edges of some of our most pressing questions, concerns, and dreams. Each session will be designed as a sacred space for exploration of current events, issues, challenges, successes, beauty, and mystery; a place where difference does not mean division and where fellowship values of interconnection, trust, curiosity, and love are embodied and expressed with openness, and mutual regard.
The Garrison Institute Fellowship was established to provide an opportunity for emerging leaders to deepen their understanding and teaching of the reality of interconnection through a combination of contemplative practices, scientific study, and generative action. Over the course of a year, the Fellows, along with guest teachers, have critically and playfully explored questions without clear answers. We approach these inquiries from the edges of psychology, public health, mindfulness, movement, social justice, performing arts, and architecture. Now the Fellows bring the spirit and fruits of these explorations into the public forum.
Each event will feature a different group of Fellows in an emerging unfolding. They may include meditation, conversation, sound, gentle movement, journaling, among other tools for collective practice. We will build a compassionate and loving container to allow for the possibility of wrestling with ideas, grieving, celebrating, healing, and building community.
