October 2024: Burst of Tribe and Travel

Bursts of Tribe and Travels

October 9, 2024

What does the word “tribe” mean to us, and in what ways do we travel? Readings and discussions on the implications of tribe and travels in the context of our lives and as we journey both inward and outward, alone and together, in a series of changing and interconnecting circles.

Featured Poem:  “We Are of a Tribe” by Alberto Rios
