We are living in a time of deep ecological crisis, economic injustice, and social fragmentation. In Charlotte—a city shaped by racial segregation, gentrification, and extreme wealth gaps there is an urgent need to build communities that are grounded, responsive, and committed to the common good.
Beloved Community School for the Common Good
brings people together to examine and challenge systems of oppression, care for the environment, and create networks of mutual support and shared abundance.
Through everyday practices, community storytelling and ritual, and collective action, we are experimenting with new ways of being that resist the status quo and build a more just, connected future. Our hope is to cultivate a way of living that is practical, critical, and rooted in place.
We know that sustained transformation requires both inner and outer work-—practices that restore connection, challenge systems of harm, and foster a more liberated way of living together. Our approach blends critical thinking, ecological awareness, and creative communal practice to address the deep disconnection between people, land, and each other.
Each Season Includes:
Activation: a participatory learning experience designed to spark justice, connection, and collective care in a specific place and time.
Ritual Gatherings: bi-weekly practices of ceremony, creative contemplation, story sharing, and connection rooted in the Christian tradition
Occasional Feast Days: community celebrations
Toolkit: resources for at-home study and application
Beloved Community Circles: facilitated small group conversations
