Nurturing Hope: Mutuality, action, and the gift of listening

Social beings asking “How now?”, we must imagine, care for and attend to what matters. This stream explores how hope can be nurtured collectively through listening with others, creating relationships, and exploring practical possibilities, while also attending to the differences in power and structures that shape the possibilities and limits of collective hope.
