Dexter Gordon, PhD
The Conversation
Dexter Gordon will host The Conversation to discuss the question “Should artists who perform in community-based events be compensated for their art?” This discussion will serve as a model of community dialogue. The Conversation is a group of Tacoma and South Sound residents committed to the building of a diverse, critically engaged, social justice community. With "Justice for All" as its foundational principle, the group has two primary foci; providing encouragement and support for social justice activists and promoting justice in such areas as the legal system, employment, housing, healthcare, and education. The group addresses justice through two essential and interrelated questions. The first is philosophical; What is the meaning of human life? The second is political and practical; What are our immediate socio-political responsibilities toward creating and promoting justice in a world stained by bigotry based on issues such as race, sex, class, and religion?

Sherry Helmke
Thank You, My Mentor, My Friend: Tribute to an Indian Woman
In February 2006 ten people spent two weeks in India on a Learning Journey. The “thread of inquiry” for the trip was Swaraj, or “rule over oneself.” Swaraj is inspired by Gandhi's call for people to lead and create their own models of development that are holistic, sustainable, collaborative and socially just. Sherry Helmke, one of the co-learners on that trip, will reflect on the experience in a conversation she titles “Thank you, My Mentor, My Friend: Tribute to an Indian woman.”

Shhh. Listen.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Naomi who loved to listen. And the more she listened the more she understood that the world was full of stories and that these stories offered not only entertainment but also solace and inspiration. She began to tell stories from dinner tables to classrooms, from the 14th Annual International Storytelling Festival in Vancouver, Canada to the ‘Science Meets Dharma’ project in Southern India. From hospices to forests, new words and old tales found each other. Most recently, she has returned from a month long journey to Israel and Palestine where she went to listen to stories of hope and reconciliation. Naomi Steinberg will share them with us in this storytelling workshop.
