Interbeing and the Beloved Community – Talk with Anne Roise

It’s easy to feel disconnected these days—disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from the larger web of life. Maybe you’ve felt the weight of division in the world, struggled to find belonging, or wondered how to bridge mindfulness with real action.

This talk from Anne Roise focuses on the interrelation of Black History, mindfulness, and Buddhism - exploring how connection, resilience, and community can be cultivated, even in challenging times.

Drawing on the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh, Anne shares how their spiritual and political relationship demonstrated that spirituality and activism aren’t separate—they’re deeply intertwined. She talks about how the power of their shared beliefs led to transformed lives and working toward peace for all beings.

Through the Brahma Viharas—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity—she shows you how to hold space for both joy and struggle, and take meaningful action in your own life. Because healing, transformation, and change don’t happen in isolation—they happen together.
