"What a time to be alive!" Black people and allies are taking to the streets to protest police brutality and government and institutions are being forced to change. These protests are obviously political, but there is another aspect that can only be felt when you really engage in the struggle. That is the spirituality of protest. It cannot be simulated on social media or learned from a place of convenience. It comes from uncomfortable reflection and connection to a larger movement by extending beyond ourselves. The reflection will explore the spiritual act of protest and how we can join those already doing the work.
