Dear Sangha,
A centrally important topic we took up together early this summer was the practices of inclusion in our individual Zen and in our community. In particular, we spoke of the causes, effects, and importance of racism in our communities, including our Buddhist communities.
So we are happy to forward to you this invitation to a talk by an important thinker in this area:

Rhonda Magee is a lawyer, law school professor teaching contemplative legal practice, an long term meditator and highly experienced speaker and workshop leader in high demand across the country. We are very lucky she will share her wisdom with us in the following talk:

Packard Performance Hall, Colorado College
[free, open to public]
Rhonda Magee, JD, is a law professor at the University of San Francisco, Co-Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at USF, and Chair of the Board for the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society. She is an expert in Contemplative Pedagogy, Race Law, Identity-Sensitive Pedagogy, Critical Race Perspectives on the Intersection of Race and Immigration. Also trained in teaching mindfulness practices, Magee’s interests include: the sociology of law, restorative justice, reconciliation, the social construction of race, racism and colonialism in the US, and the intersection of mindfulness-based contemplative pedagogy and that work.
For any of you who might attend, there will be a chance for further discussion over breakfast tomorrow at Wooglin’s, after meditation.
