From the Sea to the River

A CONTEXTUAL HD FOR ACTIVISIM

An Invitation

Our ability to understand things is limited, and we can only see part of the picture. Just look at what's happening in Israel and Palestine—there's this never-ending cycle of separation, conflict, and the turmoil it produces is never-ending.

Should we keep doing things the same old way, making compromises little by little like we always have? Is that really good enough for us? For the future? For you?

If your answer is no, then we need to talk.

Our Premise

We suggest having a conversation, not to fix everything because, let's face it, trying to fix stuff we don't really understand doesn't work (just look at the last 80 years in the Middle East or most wars). Instead, let's try something new where a narrative is discovered and explored anew rather than we building one, to see if it is in fact possible

In this holistic dialogue, we commit ourselves to exploring and discovering what it means to be human, without being limited by things like nationality, social class, ethnicity, political views, religion, gender, or other parts of who we are. Our attachment to labels create boundaries that keep us apart. When we're separated like this, it's impossible to connect with our shared humanity and find common ground. Instead, we end up clinging to anything that feels like it belongs to us.

Let Us

Inquire
Instead of focusing on "what happened," let's think about what's happening right now. Let's look into what's keeping us apart, how we talk to each other, and where things break down in our connection.
01
Let Go
Let's try dropping all the tools we usually rely on—like certain phrases or moral rules—that we use when talking gets tough.
02
Figure Out
Let's explore why we tend to dismiss people we disagree with because we're scared, or push them down when we have power over them. Let's look at why we might pick one kind of pain over another, and how our identity sometimes stops us from taking action.
03
Ask
Can we, since no one else would do it, start anew, together?
