An Invitation from the SDI Board

by

Guest Author

                  In light of ongoing actions by the current US administration, we as the SDI board want to take a moment to recognize the collective chaos, fears, griefs, anxieties, and pains that we and others may be experiencing in these times. We acknowledge that these actions also have global ramifications and are creating imminent crises and harm to individuals and to communities.

                  In these times, we as the SDI board want to reaffirm our commitment to offering and creating spaces of radical inclusion, hospitality, and belonging. We believe that affirming and celebrating our diverse identities is a core practice of spiritual companioning. When we are not all at the table, all of us are diminished. When we are present, our diversity is a strength of our community. 

                  We also want to extend an invitation to the SDI community to lean into our roles as spiritual companions for our communities in this season. We believe that through our gift of accompaniment we have an important role in providing care and support to our communities as a healing presence in the world. Itโ€™s important to engage in our work collaboratively and SDI will continue to offer spaces and opportunities for us to connect and care for one another.

Hear from Rev. SeiFu, Executive Director of SDI, offer a reflection on our Invitation by clicking the video link below.
