Face to Face: Collective Karma

Collective Karma - acknowledging colonial legacies & living in a post-colonial reality

The YBE Social Justice Committee is honored to welcome Dr. Jean-Paul R. Contreras deGuzman (he/him), Mariko Fujimoto Rooks (she/her/null), and Gina Mie Goosby (she/her) in conversation on the intersection of Buddhism and colonial legacies.

At the event on Tuesday, August 31, at 5:00pm PT, our speakers will examine our society’s history as inheritors of colonial systems, reflect on how colonialism’s impact is perpetuated today through othering, marginalization, hatred and violence, and explore the ways decolonial frameworks can shape the lives.
