Celebrating World Children’s Day

On World Children’s Day, we honor the right of all children to live in peace, safety, and dignity. In this article, we are delighted to share insights from the book Mixed Rice and a dialogue with author, Sophie Sarkar.

Fierce Vulnerability for Collective Liberation

Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse details the need for nonviolent action that moves beyond “us vs them” dynamics, recognizes the need for healing collective trauma, and reconnects spiritual practice to standing up against injustice.
