Maybe...? DESCRIPTION:Postponed: Do Dharma and Abolition Go Together? Maybe…?\n \nwith karen g. williams\, Peace Twesigye\, and Kiki Williams\n \n\n  \nDo to unforeseen circumstances\, this program will be postponed to a later date. We will be in touch with all program registrants to give a refund or credit. We apologize for any inconvenience. \nWhether within systems or our own minds\, abolition speaks to the process of unlearning and undoing\, moving towards greater freedom and non-harming. \nIf liberation of the mind is the eradication of greed\, aversion\, and ignorance of the way things have come to be\, then we might be compelled to abolish\, or support the abolition of all systems\, internally and externally\, that foster greed\, aversion\, and ignorance. \nIn this online workshop\, we will consider how the story of the Buddha’s life\, from royalty to asceticism to the middle path\, is a testament to the abolitionist qualities that the Buddha embodied. \nAlongside this inquiry\, we will dive into how the abolitionist perspective of changing everything\, coupled with the Buddhist perspective of allowing things to be as they are\, can seem contradictory. Yet maybe\, reflections on sila\, or ethical non-harming conduct\, can help us imagine a community that is free from fear. And perhaps then we can see the synergy of Dharma and abolition. \nDuring this weekend of quiet contemplation\, dialogue\, creative interaction\, movement\, and meditation\, we will explore a few important questions: How are the Buddhadharma and abolition in relationship to one another? How do our individual and collective thoughts and actions reflect abolition? \nJoin us for this weekend of fun\, liberating inquiry and practice in community!
