As we continue our journey forward from Enlightening Our Way Together you are warmly invited to join us for the MLK Beloved Community Convergence on January 13 -16, 2023.
The Opening Ceremony Celebrating and Honoring Dr. King will be held on January 13, 12-2 PM EST. We are honored and thankful that a diverse circle of our Human Family will join us with Sacred Prayers and Songs.
In MLK's words a Beloved Community is "a community in which everyone is cared for, absent of poverty, hunger, and hate."
This ideal represents what the Indigenous People know as the "Original Instruction" for being humane, living in unity, in love and peace. His words inspire generations, yet our actions do not yet reflect his vision. Participant Discussion on why we are not listening and actualizing MLK's statement: “When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.”
Once widespread, living systems thinking helped us harmonize with the forces and flows of our world, growing local opportunity and abundance together with all our relatives. Such Original Wisdom embodies a reverence for all life, a feeling of belonging and joyful participation as equals. Contemporary evolutionary thinking has converged on these same ancient understandings. Dr. Tamsin Woolley-Barker, Evolutionary Primatologist and author of _Teeming_, shares powerful insights about human nature and the nature of life, insights that beg for a radical change in everything we do.
2023 is the 60th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream”speech from the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. Tom Williams shares the remarkable story of honoring Dr. King’s Dream Speech and how that connects to being an empowered citizen, and how that connects to a Beloved Community. This is a tale of synergy about a caring citizen who made history with an unlikely cast of characters, to ensure that the speech will be remembered where it took place.
I share an indigenous story to demonstrate this and then share some ways to work in this fashion and discuss the topic with those present.

Jim Garrison, president of Ubiquity University and cofounder of Humanity Rising, recently said, “I believe we are in the most dangerous moment in our lifetime, certainly since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The momentum toward war is now seriously escalating and could very easily end up in some kind of nuclear exchange.”
