We live in a world in which ideas of what constitutes a good life are contested. Too often we see this being played out in destructive ways, with those with differing ideas attempted to silence and even destroy the other in the end, people are hurt more than served.

What if there was a space for our contested ideas to form new ideas – third ideas? Is it possible to contest our ideas in love and discover that the Spirit may be doing a new thing beyond our current ideas? How can we form and sustain communities of love and trust that foster this creativity?

This Fall, Central is hosting a series of conversations, workshops, and lectures with leaders from our community who can illuminate paths forward in the arts, policymaking, and justice-seeking. We will be participating in the conversation, followed by a workshop, presentation, and exhibition of our art.
