Join CPA-NA's bi-monthly drop-in conversation called “Linking Conversations.” We will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world–such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints–and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Through these conversations, we hope create links that will help us bear the weight of climate change and find spaciousness from which to act.
This Month's Suggested Topic:
Engaging Beyond the Separated Self: For the Sake of Our Planetary Health
As we travel together in this time of potential transformation, how might we evoke, and embody qualities that shift our perspectives and relationships into a sense of belonging rather than separation?
How might we cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other in service of healing ourselves, all Earth beings, and future generations?
Beyond casting a vote in the US elections, we have some deep work to do. How might we hold respect for conceptual/experiential differences and the Life that we share with all beings on this planet which we call home?
----
The conversations are founded on the idea that to build an empathic and justice oriented response to the climate crisis, we need to support and honor those parts of being human that “link” - to our own inner lives, to the subjective experiences of others, to the collective lived experience of our communities, and to the environment in which we live and upon which we depend. In a culture that persistently attacks and disavows these links, we aim to recognize and support them.
