Emily Dickenson’s poem, “Hope is the thing with feathers”, offers a hopeful metaphor representing the universal capacity for all creation to arise from the ashes of adversity, find hope in community connection, and be a force for personal and societal transformation. The impact of our current circumstances has compelled us to action for “liberty and justice for all”, and in so doing we have found ourselves treading on thin, dangerous, ICE. This workshop will define the inner and outer work of hope amidst the current political climate and seek to understand the role of bridging in generating hope. We will explore how hope grounds us collectively in a vision for a better future for everyone, consider strategies for eliciting and supporting a hopeful vision, and what motivates us to work for peace and justice
