❤️‍🔥 There are moments within humanity’s EVOLutionary journey that steer us towards greater peace, greater courage, and a felt sense of what it means to embody Beloved Community. These moments are guideposts for navigating the uncharted terrain before us…rooting us into the heart of what it means to be true peace builders and arc benders.

May 31st, 1966 is one such moment. A moment in which the world witnessed two of the greatest Spiritual leaders of our time uniting in a shared vision of peace while their nations were at war with one another.

A. J. Muste, working on behalf of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, arranged a meeting between Thich Nhat Hanh and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago on May 31, 1966. They conferred privately for some time, discussing the latest crises in Vietnam, and then held a joint press conference…

Their joint statement at this momentous moment read:

“…We also believe that the struggles for equality and freedom in Birmingham, Selma and Chicago, as in Hue, Danang and Saigon, are aimed not at the domination of one people by another. They are aimed at self-determination, peaceful social change, and a better life for all human beings. And we believe that only in a world of peace can the work of construction, of building good societies everywhere, go forward.”

Now Ancestors, Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hanh’s words ring out as a clarion call for all who have “ears to hear” and a willingness to heed their invitation to continue the legacy of building the Beloved Community as a remedy for the dis-ease of violence that plagues humanity.

Please join myself and for a SACRED pause to commemorate and celebrate these ‘Brothers in the Beloved Community’ on the 6Oth anniversary of their 1st meeting that seeded a dream of peace that we now have the great honor of tending to.⚖️🕊️

Please visit shineheatherelizabeth.one/events to join us live under the light of the Full Moon, May 31st, 6pm EST/ 5pm CST/ 3pm PDT for a virtual ceremony honoring the lineage of Beloved Community through the friendship of Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hanh.❤️‍🔥🕯️

🕊️Moral Mondays with Repairers of the Breach⚖️

Deeply grateful to have Eli with share about the war on our unsheltered neighbors during our Moral Monday mobilization today in front of Senator Cornyn’s office off of W. 6th street in Austin, TX. 🕯️ Join us every Monday from 5-6pm!❤️‍🔥

Our moral conscience will not allow us to look away from the policy violence being inflicted upon our most vulnerable and marginalized community members. Billions of dollars are being spent on the illegal war while people’s food, shelter, and healthcare are being stripped away. We cannot and will not be silent about these atrocities!

Please join us in supporting the critical work that is doing to advocate for our neighbors who are being targeted by policy violence on the federal, state, and city levels.💔

Follow to be a part of our Moral Monday fusion.⚖️🕊️ Love forward together, not one step back!❤️‍🔥
