10 Oct: “I am because we are: creating beloved community from the inside out” with Singhashri
In line with our autumn theme - Solidarity with Self & World - we are delighted to welcome internationally popular teacher Singhashri this month to explore the topical theme of inclusivity and community. She writes:- “We all yearn to find and engage with others in spaces of deep meaning and heart-felt belonging, where we are each doing our own work in deep connection with one another. This is the ideal of beloved community. Our dharma practice provides a crucible where we hold the tension between our ideals and what is happening now, which sometimes feels very far from our ideals. How do we show up for ourselves and others with an attitude of openness and curiosity, willing to see clearly the parts of us that are both longing for freedom and those still in the shadows, confused, or actively resisting change? This question is relevant to both how we work internally and also how we engage in beloved community. It is the ground from which true inclusivity can take root, grow and flourish, creating beloved community from the inside out.”
