Community Dialogues, Contemplative Wonder ----------------- These are facilitated sessions where you can engage with peers from diverse backgrounds. People who participate in the Community Dialogues program will be able to: 1) Identify important aspects of their personal backgrounds, 2) Articulate the value of understanding different perspectives, 3) Describe and demonstrate principles of positive social engagement in communication, and 4) Understand about being responsible members of the Community. ----------------- “Contemplative Wonder” with Karen Jolly --- Session: We invite you to contemplate a seemingly counterintuitive claim: the universe is a perfectly safe place. Placing ourselves at the center of a lōkahi triangle and using all of our senses, we will imagine looking up to the furthest reaches of the cosmos, focus our attention down at the planet to see our ‘āina in all its glorious detail, and reach out to touch the objects that speak to our kinship. This holistic exercise begins every sentence with I wonder.... --- Speaker: Karen Jolly is a professor of history at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, a kama‘āina of 35 years, and a voracious reader who wonders about a lot of things. --- Community Dialogues brought to you by the Conflict and Peace Specialist, and Peace Sustainability and Advocacy.
