Centering Wisdom

Reflection:

Do these multidimensional definitions motivate you to look at the homeless issue from a different perspective?

Now, are you ready to share your own experience of being homeless in your life, and ready to heal your own wounds as well as those of others?

Activity:

What were some feelings that arose for you watching Rev. Dr. King’s video? Discuss with a friend how you feel.
