Description

Resistance is often understood as something external, such as protests, policies, and public action. Drawing on Anjali Rao’s insight that “resistance is embodied” and that “resilience is sacred,” this program invites us to look inward as well as outward.

Join Social Justice Chair Matthew Tift for an exploration of Rao’s RISE framework—Root, Integrate, Study, and Embodied Action—as a way of practicing sacred dissent in everyday life. Rather than striving to perfect ourselves or our movements, we will explore what it means to practice transformation through attention, rest, study, joy, and action.

Through story, reflection, and spiritual grounding, we will consider how resistance can be rooted in love, sustained by joy, and lived through our bodies and shared humanity.
