Justice is Both Bigger and Smaller Than You Think

Holly Duncan, Ben Garrett

Friday, 5:00pm | Landing

There can be no denying that we live in a time that cries out for justice. It seems that nearly every day we are shown some new act of violence or forced to suffer some outrageous indignity. Yet, the practice of justice-making is bitter hard work. Through their nonprofit EIRO, Holly Duncan and Ben Garrett have been exploring how to practice justice: on a communal level, on an interpersonal level, and within ourselves. Their workshop will focus on different practices that bring these dimensions of justice-making together and how we can all experience greater wholeness.
