In a time where the threat of authoritarianism is on the rise,
how might we take the next step toward creating truly equitable and thriving societies?
This question, for many, may feel increasingly out of reach.
And yet for redemptive thinker, and visionary leader john a. powell,
it serves as one of the central lines of inquiry in his work.
johh a. powell is the Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley,
A civil rights advocate,
And an author who has written books including:
Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World.
Woven throughout his writings and teachings - he brings our attention again and again to the root of inequality.
A root born out of the process of 'othering'.
A process that primes us to see people as a threat,
which leads to fear, disconnection, and the fracturing of our society.
And while John addresses the root cause of so much suffering,
One of the things I greatly appreciate about his work is that he simultaneously invites us to consider an alternative path.
A way forward that calls upon the better angels of our nature.
In his words:
“We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences,
transcending the notion that difference divides us,
and instead co-create a world where everyone belongs.”
Today we will explore some of John’s profound insights, stories, and practices for increasing belonging which include:
