“How might we build the compassion and courage to make our highest contribution, at this moment in history?”
We are bringing together the curious from our very different networks - The Broadway , Mindfulness, Systems Change, and Social Innovation communities from across New York.
This event is designed to inspire and to help you cultivate the courage to do something from wherever you are sitting in the system.
3 reasons:
1. Tanya Birl-Torres is excited to officially launch SoHumanity - an exploration into the intersection of creativity, spirituality and social justice.
2. Racial injustice, inequality, an election result that has shaken the ground under our feet - many of us want to do something, but don't know what contribution we can make.
3. January is the perfect time to bring together our friends for a warm, generative and fun party!
Tanya has a thriving Broadway career that spans from tap dancing with Daniel Radcliffe to being 8 months pregnant onstage with Scarlett Johansson. Tanya has joined with organizations such as The Dream Unfinished and the Center for Constitutional Rights and has spoken to add a creative voice and to collaborate on issues such as racial inequality and solitary confinement. Tanya is officially launching SOHumanity at this event.
Rachel is a British award-winning social innovator based in New York, named by the Guardian newspaper as one of 50 Radicals “changing the face of the UK for the better”. She was one of co-founders of The Finance Innovation Lab, designed to empower positive disruptors in the financial system. It brought together people post financial crisis to organize a movement for change.
She Founded The Systems Studio in New York in 2016 to support people who want to address systemic challenges, but don't know how.
Rachel and Tanya met at their daughters’ nursery school and were immediately drawn to each others heart for change.
They both read the Directors welcome which described classrooms full of “discoveries, questions, purposeful play, and joy” and thought it sounded like the kind of culture they wanted to bring into the world.
They have come together, bringing their different knowledge and friends together to create this experimental event.
