Sun, 9/28--1:15--2:45pm. ET - Zoom & Friends Meeting, 5 Longfellow Park, Cambridge MA

Engaging the Past to Repair the Present 

note: this event is included because many of us in the U.S. are still living with a settler colonial mindset that we must continue to work to overcome.

In a world beset with multiple crises, Louise Dunlap--author, Buddhist practitioner, and longtime friend of FMC now living in Oakland CA--will speak about what she learned looking back at her family's history during early settlement and the formation of this country. As she wrote Inherited Silence: Listening to the Land; Healing the Colonizer Mind, Louise began to see new answers to some of today's most pressing problems and joined Indigenous and settler work to repair the harm of our history.

She'll share current stories of "good news," not just from California and Oak Flat in Arizona but also from the northeast and will offer queries to stimulate discussion. Her book can be ordered here with the code PEACE20 for a discount and free shipping. To participate using Zoom, click this link or provide the meeting ID 783 475 1861 and passcode 1652 (if requested) Contact peace@fmcquaker.org or forj@fmcquaker.org with any questions
