What we're about

We are a group for anyone interested in having meaningful conversations that explore and celebrate the diversity of cultures and peoples in our area, and the principles of unity in diversity that connect us. Join us for respectful, honest, and thoughtful conversations on race relations, equality of women and men, social justice, and other spiritual themes. Using words from The Baha'i Faith and other religious texts as well as from contemporary thought, we will explore spiritual solutions for transforming our society and for empowering and engaging all people to create and serve a united community. All are welcome!
