How do we get free from a captivity in which razor-wire tentacles wrap themselves around every facet of our personal and institutional life? White supremacy so permeates our institutions, policies, practices, and ways of knowing that it is nearly impossible to think outside it. The prosaic solutions of governing bodies do virtually nothing--often less than nothing--to mitigate the everyday, ongoing devastation.

In this four-week offering from the Stanford Office of Religious Life, we will take time to sit with the trouble, to risk being cut by the jagged edges, as we grow our spiritual capacities to be present to one another, to hold one another’s suffering, and to conspire toward freedom.
