Details | Watch and comment on Facebook or YouTube Many people are experiencing trauma, grief, and anxiety in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and continued violence against marginalized groups. After symptoms have been diagnosed, a serious question remains: how do we heal after experiencing significant harm? Diverse religious traditions have developed deep reservoirs of “healing faith”—cultural wisdom and spiritual practices to lament brokenness, promote healing, and transform painful circumstances. In this courageous conversation, Joanne Braxton and Angela Oh, two respected scholars, religious practitioners, and social activists, explore how religion and spirituality can be medicine for the spirit, the body, and the body politic. This program is a prelude to Creative Encounters: Living Religions in the United States at the 2023 Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
