“Worlds are cracking open. It's time to make new gods.” -Bayo Akomolafe
“Sometimes the sacred breaks through the cracks of our lives and lights up everything.” -Mirabai Starr
Join us for a timely and provocative conversation Birthing New Gods: Rooting our Lives in Sacred Ground with internationally acclaimed philosopher Bayo Akomolafe and best-selling author & spiritual teacher Mirabai Starr.
James Baldwin wrote, “An old world is dying, and a new one, kicking in the belly of its mother, time, announces that it is ready to be born." Indeed, new worlds are rising from the ashes all around us - we see it clearly in our rapidly changing religious and spiritual landscapes.
The old gods are dying, and out of the cracks and openings, new gods are being born. What is being asked of us in this soul-searching time of disruption and shape-shifting? How can we root our lives in sacred ground, welcoming in the practices, rituals and ways of being that can transform our lives and world? Gather with us for an illuminating conversation at the intersections of cracking worlds, meaning-making, belonging and sacredness in these times.
