Reimagine
Teaching and practice with Valarie Kaur
Today’s teaching and guided inquiry call for us to protect time and space for reimagining and creating beloved community. We’ll learn to direct our attention to what we’re fighting for and the importance of discerning which institutions can be reformed and which must be dismantled.
Home Practice
1. Identify the institution that needs you.
2. In your wisdom journal, reflect on these questions:
What is your role in the labor of reimagining?
What does the wisdom inside you say it needs from you to make that happen?
Start to seed a pocket of revolutionary love where you are. What is your first step?
Interview and live Q&A
with Lisa Sharon Harper, Brian McLaren, Deepa Iyer, and Sherrilyn Ifill: “Reimagine”
To reimagine is to explore a vision of a relationship, community, and world where we all flourish. It calls us to do more than resist or punish opponents; we must change the conditions that drive harm. How would you reimagine the world you want to live in, and what does collective reimagining of our world require of us? Join Lisa Sharon Harper, Brian McLaren, Deepa Iyer, and Sherrilyn Ifill to learn why imagination has been an essential component of their individual journeys with social transformation.
Moderated by: Melissa Ann Canlas, EdD
Session Highlights:
-
Imagining the world we are fighting for, not those we are fighting against
-
Protecting our collective imagination through pockets of revolutionary love
-
Rituals and art as a means of nurturing our imagination
-
Learning from examples of groups (particularly those led by people of color) who have been reimagining systems for generations

Renée Catharina Stok-Land (1960)
The thing that was the most strong for me was the theme of inclusion and exclusion. How few places I feel are truly inclusive. I imagined a temple of all religions that has one door for each religion. A place where all people can worship in community together where all are held and truly valued.
Your vision is almost an accurate description of LOTUS-light of truth universal shrine at Satchitananda Ashram, Buckingham, Virginia. Being there is a beautiful and powerful experience.
