What does reconciliation look like when it is understood not as a completed task, but as an ongoing practice\u2014here on earth, in our everyday lives?<\/h2>\n

with Dr. James Tully<\/p>\n

Webinar Date:<\/strong>\u00a0April 22, 2026 \/ 12-1pm PT<\/div>\n

In this reflective conversation, Dr. James Tully invites our audience to think carefully about reconciliation as a\u202fpractice of living well together, rather than a policy outcome, legal framework, or symbolic gesture. Drawing from his chapter\u202f\u201cReconciliation Here on Earth,\u201d\u202fTully explores how reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is inseparable from our relationships with the living earth and with one another.<\/p>\n

Rather than offering prescriptions or solutions, Tully turns our attention to the\u202feveryday practices\u2014political, economic, social, and ecological\u2014through which relationships are sustained, strained, or repaired. He reflects on what Indigenous teachings, ecological understandings, and traditions of non-violent democratic practice reveal about interdependence, responsibility, and limits in a time of overlapping social and environmental crises.<\/p>\n

This conversation invites reflection on questions such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • What does it mean to practice reconciliation\u202fwith\u202fothers, rather than reconcile\u202fto\u202fexisting systems?<\/li>\n
  • How do everyday habits of governance, consumption, and political life support\u2014or undermine\u2014reconciliation?<\/li>\n
  • What responsibilities arise when we understand ourselves as members of living, interdependent communities?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Through careful reflection and grounded examples, Tully invites audiences to move beyond reconciliation as a checklist or outcome and toward reconciliation as a lived practice\u2014shaped within communities, institutions, and relationships with one another and the land.<\/p>\n
