Dear Comrades: Part of what I love doing is gathering with folks who are like-minded and differently-minded, so that we can build a sense of radical belonging, enjoy convivial moments, and build ethical futures. Together, with some of my colleagues from the theological academy, we are doing just that! I know many of you have been waiting for an in person gathering, and that time is now upon us!

I hope you will consider joining us for this retreat!

What: A Retreat of story telling and imagination rooted in conversation

What might be another possible world? How do we steward ethical futures? How do we practice world-building together? Using conversation as a methodology, we will invite scholar-practitioners to join us as we imagine another possible world and heal the wounds of ourselves and our democracy. We will endeavor to imaginer a better world; or, as the Zapatistas say ‘another possible world.’ Together, with Body Becoming: A Path to Our Liberation and Gloria Anzaldúa’s speculative imagination for a better world, which focusses primarily on imagination and bodily wisdom, we will bridge together the production of knowledge through various conversations and presentations and create conditions for an embodied awareness. Another possible world has to be more than a thinking project; more than critique and analysis; revolutionizing our values and our value systems must include care for self and other and wisdom that emerges from the body on a planetary scale.
