Love in the Midst of Dominance
December 13th (Thursday Night Drop-In Class) December 15th (Half Day Retreat)
Boston Meditation Center
(at the Boston Center for Contemplative Practice in Newton, Massachusetts)
The poet and author audre lorde beautifully said, “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” And yet here we are forty years later, still using the master’s tools of greed, hatred, and delusion as the dominating force in power and privilege structures. What would it be like to lay these down and pick up the tool of love . . . not the sentimental and anemic kind, but the kind of fierce love that calls you up, and allows us to have more intimacy with our discomfort, so that we can also move away from our pain?
Inspired by a quote from bell hooks, we will spend the Thursday evening and Saturday half day retreat, investigating what it looks like to explore Love in the Midst of Dominance.
