Building Harmony Out of Discord (Free Event)

It’s not hard to find signs of discord, division and disunity in the world around us today. But are we as individuals powerless to do anything about it? Or can we find opportunities, even in the midst of these troubling times to work together to build a stronger, more unified, and just world? What role might spirituality play in assisting us to do this?

Practices in faith traditions of prayer and meditation, the rising trend of mindfulness, and the continuous development of tools to connect us with one another all seem to confirm that the sea of chaos we are immersed in only increases the desire for our souls to find peace, for us to live in harmony with one another as members of one human body. So how can we transform both our inner lives and our social environment to reflect this reality? How can the diverse members of our communities come together to improve the spiritual character and social conditions of the wider communities where they live? What role can we each play in creating communities built on qualities like unity, trustworthiness, mutual support, justice, and collaboration – communities where each and every one of us has the opportunity to thrive both spiritually and materially?

Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on reaching our truest aspirations as human beings to live in harmony and accord with one another. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how we can band together and support one another in creating unified communities that serve all of humanity.

“...the purpose for which mortal men have, from utter nothingness, stepped into the realm of being, is that they may work for the betterment of the world and live together in concord and harmony.” – Bahá’í Teachings
