A Legacy of Contemplation and Resilience
Folks of African descent carry a rich legacy of contemplation—an enduring wisdom that, even in the face of colonization and enslavement, has taught us how to pause, rest, and reconnect with our true selves.
Our ancestors dreamed of freedom, prepared for it, fought for it, and ultimately manifested it against all odds. Through resilience, joy, and deep reflection, we embody profound truths of interdependence and belonging. We are living testaments to the power of community, holding the wisdom that none of us stands alone.
From these traditions, the world learns how to embrace paradox with grace—to hold grief and joy, struggle and triumph, as equal parts of the whole. In the face of adversity, we create beauty and thrive, transforming hardship into expressions of love and liberation.
Our path reminds us that freedom is not an individual pursuit but a collective awakening—a shared journey rooted in ancestral wisdom that rises with and through us all. This elemental, ancestral, and profoundly human power bears witness and uplifts us toward connection, resilience, and unity.
Join us to experience a celebration of resilience, joy, and the power of community.
Please note: This is event is open to anyone who would benefit from hearing wisdom teachings on resiliency, community and living by an ethic of love. This program is a fundraiser to build the scholarship fund at New York Insight. Your payment will go a long way to supporting access to the dharma for all.
