Common Threads in Our Meaningful Events

  • Connections – With each other and with vulnerable people sharing stories.
  • New realizations – About who has power & privilege, and who it has been taken from.
  • Stories of pain being transformed into joy and action - Sparked by a deep love for all.
  • Finding identity -  Permission to freely share expressions of our honest, personal  truths.
  • Grace - A shared wholeness that came from full acceptance of ourselves and each other.

New Mexico, 2019

New Mexican Pueblo elder sharing Native people’s desire to better Spain, then Mexico, then U.S. as each country consecutively took over possession of their land.  Hard for youth to believe after learning of the atrocities that all 3 countries perpetrated on Native peoples.  A shocking depth of GRACE.  Then Center For Action & Contemplation’s encouragement to balance advocacy action with prayer & meditation... learning how to lean into the grace that Native peoples live
