Grief & Revolutionary Love

June 4, 5pm-6:15pm Pacific

Grief & Revolutionary Love is part of our monthly series in 2025 called Grief Conversations.

A Sacred Space for Collective Healing

In this heartfelt conversation, spiritual teacher Mirabai Starr and activist Valarie Kaur explore how we process grief and summon Revolutionary Love in the wake of authoritarianism. Together, they reflect on personal loss, collective mourning, and the power of love as a force for justice, healing, and transformation.

In a culture that often responds to hate crimes with either numbing silence or reactive rage, we need practices that allow us to remain present, tender, and powerful—all at once.

This gathering creates space to honor our heartbreak while reaching toward a love revolutionary enough to transform both ourselves and our world. Through the wisdom of two leaders who have intimately walked this path, we'll discover how to turn toward our pain rather than away, finding within it the seeds of profound connection and committed action.

Valarie Kaur's journey began when a Sikh father and family friend, Balbir Singh Sodhi, became the first person murdered in a hate crime after 9/11. From that devastating loss emerged a movement to reclaim love as a force for justice.

Mirabai Starr brings her experience as a grief companion and translator of the mystics, offering wisdom on how spiritual practices can sustain us through our darkest moments of witnessing suffering.

Together, they invite us into a conversation that touches the heart of our shared humanity.
