Radical Dharma: Conversation
With Rev. angel Kyodo williams Roshi
July 20 - 25, 2025
It’s time to create the conditions that reimagine a path of healing, reconnect with authentic community, and manifest true justice.
Radical dharma (“complete truth”) is a way to enter the critical conversation about how the legacy of racial injustice and white supremacy plays out and prevents our collective awakening. We can only accomplish shifts in awareness by creating conditions for radical honesty–where we drop our need for perfection to speak and act from a place of deep vulnerability and authentic presence. This deep dive Conversation offers the critical guidance, practices, and experiences we need, but were never taught.
Rev. angel Kyodo williams Roshi helps us navigate grief, apathy, alienation, and burnout and engage in an intimate practice of bold, authentic, and inclusive conversation.
Together We Will
- Practice skillfully engaging across lines of difference to continue the conversation in your own community
- Identify and disrupt patterns of internalized oppression and collusion
- Learn the embodied practice of Centering in Presence to build internal capacity
- Learn to recognize and disrupt patterns that play a role in silencing ourselves and others
- Unearth and dismantle myths that deny the history and context of our conditioning
As we align our values with our behaviors, we become equipped and empowered to respond to the urgent need for action. All people looking for ways to deconstruct rather than amplify systems of suffering are welcome.
*We ask that participants read the book Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love & Liberation in advance of the program.
Testimonials
“Radical Dharma: The Conversation showed me systemic racism, my own whiteness, and personal privilege. It was not easy. I felt pain, shock, and personal disappointment. I was also completely supported and loved. I am 100% grateful. My learning is real. I am a different person. I can take action.” – Past participant
“I love the call to show up for ourselves, over and over again, so that we can then show up to our communities with more presence and space in the work for justice. I feel like Rev. angel’s teachings are bringing together all the things that matter most to me – spiritual practice, individual & collective liberation, social justice, community involvement, compassion, and above all, love.” – Past participants
