LIVESTREAM: Healing Racism and Bigotry, Part 3 – Tools to Bring Unity

Last updated on: September 6, 2016 at 3:40 am By Mastura Debra Graugnard

This is a world of multiplicity and diversity, not equality. We cannot claim to see each other as one, all equals. To claim sameness is to deny our humanity. We strive for equality and unity in the realms of the spirit, but can we claim to love unconditionally when we live in a conditional world?

LIVESTREAM: Healing Racism & Bigotry, Part 2 – Gandhi meets Rumi

Last updated on: August 22, 2016 at 11:36 pm By Mastura Debra Graugnard

We want to live in a fair, balanced world with no bias or prejudice, but is it possible? Integral to our human journey is a belief that we are separate from God, love and each other. This perception creates fear, which resides at the base of our innate drive for survival. How real are the fears we face? Do we allow our fears to inform us and keep us safe? Do we allow our fears to unnecessarily perpetuate a system that is divided along lines of race, culture, religion, and social and economic differences? In this week's discussion, Gandhi meets Rumi as we use Sufi principles to be the change we wish to see in the world. Read more

Can effects of past traumas be subconsciously affecting our inter-racial relationships? Read more
