-Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart
How can we connect our personal spiritual journeys with the larger course of our shared human experience? How do we compassionately and wisely navigate belonging and exclusion in our own hearts? And how can we embrace diverse identities and experiences within our spiritual communities, building sanghas that make good on the promise of liberation for everyone?
If you aren't sure how to start this work, Awakening Together is for you. If you've begun but aren't sure what the next steps are, this book is for you. If you're already engaged in this work, this book will remind you none of us do this work alone. Whether you find yourself at the center or at the margins of your community, whether you're a community member or a community leader, this book is for you.
