Thank you Vimalasara for bringing in the importance of the expressive arts in helping us to embody ourselves. Sweet Honey in the Rock, Sounds of Blackness and Nina Simone with her deep resonant tones.
This Whole summit has been phenomenal. I am wanting to develop a meditation practice and investigate Budhism more and this has helped in identifying Books, practices, work, and a better understanding of myself and others.
Blessings and Love.
This was an amazing event! Thank you for powerfully addresssing topics so critical to our spritual and racial issues.
It is great to see and know that there are many other black Buddhists.
