Episode 58: Kinship Commons
Kinship Commons creates experiential and transformative gatherings toward the flourishing of marginalized people. Started by four women of color, we are passionate about expanding imagination, integrating multiple traditions and cultivating new ways of being that are life-giving, healing, and generative. We seek to lead people toward kinship with one another and with God.
It’s co-directors are Angie K. Hong and Julie Tai.
Angie Hong is a critical convener, engineer of human momentum, mama to two boys, a cat, and a dog. Creating liturgies with thought and action is my jam. Julie Tai ia a musician, performance art designer, and dinner party host. Putting together meaningful gatherings around story and food is what gets me up in morning.
