Book Club Proposal
Sangha member Leaf Kretz is interested in starting a book club to read one of the following two books (or both, but one at a time!). Both books center the voices of members of oppressed groups, and explore how issues of oppression persist within Buddhist communities and practices, thereby starting necessary conversations for how to work against the operations of oppressive systems.
The two books are:
Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and Community
Larry Yang, Forewords by Jan Willis and Sylvia Boorstein

Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation
Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Lama Rod Owens, and Jasmine Syedullah, PhD

The book selected (or which one we want to read first if there is interest in reading both), time/date, format, duration, and frequency of the meetings will reflect the interests of the group that forms. If you are interested please reach out to Leaf at lkretz@dal.ca by January 31.
