Dr. Bayo Akomolafe on the invitation, "Let Us Make Sanctuary," and the need for a deeper inquiry in our times.
In this special session, Bayo explains one of his oft-quoted sayings, “The times are urgent; let us slow down” and how sanctuary is where slowing down happens.
Also discussed:
* How the function of slowing down in urgent times is not about simply resting so that we can continue forward in the same direction. We slow down to connect with the more-than-human world, to engage in deep inquiry about where we are going.
* Pouring drink to earth: An African spiritual technology that expresses our indebtedness to our ancestors and all that makes life possible.
* Standing at the crossroads: How the ground underneath us is going through a seismic shift at this time that is allowing the unsaid to now be spoken and intelligible.
* The invitation of the slave ship as a place of spiritual contemplation, as a site of renewing our connections with grief, loss, trauma, and tragedy.
* Grieving as a form of activism.

Wow, thanks for this incredible discussion with so much wisdom. I especially appreciated the ideas about grief. Grieving and healing are a natural part of not only the human experience, but also the earthly experience. Thank you, and best wishes for your journey!
