In a time of increased isolation, finding ourselves within a community feels more important than ever. We ache for wisdom—wisdom that is embodied and drawn from shared experiences. But what happens when entire histories of generational traumas are erased, leaving us without the wisdom that comes from it? Or when we cling to the "lone warrior" myth, only to find it unsustainable for leadership and lacking the wisdom of teachers and leaders?
Patrick B. Reyes, Chicano executive leader, theologian, and author of The Purpose Gap and Nobody Cries When We Die, offers his unique perspective on wisdom and community. Together, he and Michaela O'Donnell explore
how diverse ancestral backgrounds can help us construct better futures,
the need to redefine who our teachers are and where we find wisdom, and
the importance of communities and constellations—and the humility to root ourselves in both.
