You are warmly invited into a sacred space of practice, reflection, and community. This gathering begins a conversation about how the Three Jewels of Buddhism—the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha—and the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa, may inform Black healing and liberation.

This is a starting point, not a deep dive. Together, we will gently explore where these distinct traditions may be in conversation with one another, while honoring each in its own voice and making room for future learning, practice, and community reflection.
