What we notice shapes what we value… and what we miss shapes it, too. This service explores equity through the lenses of fairness, attention, and the quiet lessons of conflict. Our sense of fairness can often help us in life, and it can also narrow our view when people’s needs and experiences differ. Conflict invites us to look again – to soften certainty and ask: “What am I not seeing yet?” In this way, equity becomes a practice of attention: shifting the frame, listening differently, allowing multiple truths to exist. Together, we’ll reflect on how small shifts in attention can deepen connection and help us build a more compassionate, equitable community.
