Podcast Lecture - Gina Sharpe "Interconnectedness, Equanimity and Sacred Activism"

"What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ---Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

These words inspire us to reflect--How can we reconcile and align the forces of love and power in our heart/mind? Can kindness, compassion and equanimity inform our passion for justice and can our passion for justice lead to the cultivation of kindness, compassion and equanimity? How do we live so that our lives reflect our deepest insights and how can our deepest insights profoundly affect a life of active engagement? We will investigate these questions through meditation, discourse and inquiry.
