Our February theme: “Widening the Circle”

This month’s theme invites us to consider the social, spiritual, or political circles we make, find, maintain, leave, and/or break. In this space, you’ll find a new invitation into reflection on our monthly theme every week.

Check-in question: How has your definition of racism widened or shifted since you were younger?

American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.
