SAAM 2022 Keynote
To honour the theme of SAAM 2022, Cultivating a Community of Care, the SVSPO hosted author of I Hope We Choose Love Kai Cheng Thom for an expertiential keynote event on tranformative justice. In this session, Kai Cheng Thom and the Director of the SVSPO, CJ Rowe, addressed the following questions in an open and vulnerable conversation about conflict, harm, social change, and personal growth:
- What does Transformative Justice --justice that heals, changes, and improves communities-- look like in real life?
- How can we create relationships where accountability and forgiveness co-exist?
- How can we hold our own bodies, minds, and spirits, with deep compassion and integrity at the same time?
You are invited to watch the recording of the event below.
