We Conspire: Beloved Community as Practice and Possibility
We Conspire is a series from the Center for Action and Contemplation featuring wisdom and stories from the growing Christian contemplative movement. Sign up for the monthly email series and receive a free invitation to practice each month.
In February’s We Conspire series, we explore how contemplative practice—shaped by music, culture, lived experience, and nonviolent love—can open new paths to belonging and shared humanity. We discover what Beloved Community could mean as a practice and possibility that we embody and risk together today.
