 Community Conversation: Moving Forward as a Community with Documented Harm
March 9 / 12:30 PM - March 9 / 2:00 PM
*****Please note the date, time and location change: This conversation is taking place, Saturday, March 9th from 12:30 - 2 in the Shambhala Shrine Room****
Since the news of allegations of clergy sexual misconduct broke last summer, our center has been sitting with our heartbreak. We have all experienced many feelings and emotions during this time. Now we have the published Wickwire Holm Investigation report that documents harm in our community. As we have done since the news first broke, we are inviting community to come together to support one another, and to appreciate the strength and vibrancy of our local group. We will be holding a Community Conversation on Saturday, March 9th from 12:30 - 2pm, to allow space for our community to process what this means for us collectively and individually as a Shambhala Center with a container rooted in compassion and healing. Anyone attending Level IV that weekend, is welcome to bring their brown sack lunch into the conversation.
Here are links to the most current publications in this process of documenting harm in the Shambhala Mandala:
