Cultivating Covenanted Kinship in a Culture of Colonization
With TiLT [Taos Initiative for Life Together]
Friday, September 13, 2024
Taos, NM
Here we are, multi-cultural citizens of NM seeking to live well in this amazing place together, yet haunted by histories that have often exploited, divided, ignored and colonized, often in the name of God.
Our gentle and generous facilitators will call us in --not "call us out"--into ways we can live in sacred solidarity and support, treating each other as kin as we face our common uncertain future.
8:30am to 12:30pm in downtown Taos @ TiLT [Taos Initiative for Life Together]
1-2pm Special After-Event Gathering of music, prayer and sharing at Kevin Whitefeather’s Pueblo land
