Wisdom in the Circle – Conversation about Race and Culture in the 21st Century
When:
- Wednesday, June 5 – 6:00-8:00 pm
- Wednesday, June 26 – 6:00-8:00 pm
Where:
First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Rd, Concord, MA 01742
Free and open to the public. No registration is required!
The objective of the program is to share personal stories about race in our lives and how we can work toward building the beloved community.
This conversation will be structured as a listening circle format, creating an intentional space for personal and community reflection. It is not a presentation or briefing but a chance to get to know each other through sharing our experiences and deepening relationships.
In the 21st century, we are currently experiencing a relational deficit, encompassing global differences, environmental concerns, and racial and cultural differences. At the heart of all these disparities, the quality of human relationships has deteriorated, and we have lost the communal capacity for mutual respect and caring. We hope to use this platform to strengthen and heal the web of relationships.
