Hearing each other, Hearing ourselves: Creating Global Beloved Community
(Working with spirit to create Living Democracy)

Presentation and Dialogue
with Quaker Sara Wolcott sharing her election work in Ohio during the 2004 election
Going door to door in the nation’s poorest city, Sara confronted vast economic hardships and a level of profound despair and disempowerment. Her work and research revealed a despair/disempowerment that extends across the U.S. It is both spiritual and political and generates an apathy and anomie that exact a heavy toll on the minds and souls of our people.
Sara Apprenticed with JOANNA MACY and says:
"These challenges and opportunities are key elements of the global movement many call the Great Turning."
Let us engage together what it means to create global citizenship: a world where we can all hear and be heard.
Join Sara as she prepares to journey to the World Social Forum in Kenya. Help us send her off by exploring radical listening and authentic conversation and how they can create the possibility of practicing deeper democracy.
