Cecilie invites us to reflect:
We belong to each other. When we say those words, who is the “we,” and what do we mean by “belong?” In a time of growing war, polarization and incapacitating grief, Cecilie Surasky will explore the urgency of resetting our spiritual and political GPS toward expanding our sense of who belongs, instead of contracting it. Drawing on her lifetime of political organizing, experience with traumatic grief, and the work of the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, she will pose the question: What would it take from each of us to hold each other’s humanity sacred, and chart a truly radical course of belonging without othering?
