The Alive! Conversations are an intimate online space (hosted on Zoom) where we connect with spiritually diverse changemakers who are changing the narrative about the individual and collective power of spirituality and faith for addressing major issues facing society. 

For our first episode we will be chatting with Dr. Andrew Kaplan Mandel and Kathleen McShane about choosing and shaping communities that embody love in action. We will learn from their experience building new forms of spiritual communities, mobilizing collectively for social change, transcending existing structures, innovating rituals, and evolving in community. 

Your voice is needed in these conversations – stay for the breakout groups! For the initial 50min or so, a “conversation holder” from Ashoka will navigate insights with Kathi and Andrew, making time for questions and answers from the audience. Then we will transition into breakout rooms (20~ mins) to be present for one another as we share reflections.
