FREE EVENT!
Sponsored by The Open Discourse Coalition at
Bucknell University
We are honored and thrilled to welcome Mako back to The Trust, this time with his wife Haejin to discuss their co-authored book, Beauty X Justice: Creating a Life of Abundance and Courage
We tend to think of justice and beauty as mutually exclusive. One is concerned with bare “rightness,” and the other with mere adornment.
But…
What if they danced? What if they worked together in creating a flourishing world?
Come find out what Mako and Haejin think. More than that, get a front row seat to the work that demonstrates their passion for beauty and justice in our world.
Our Founder & Curator Tom Becker will interview them “fireside chat” style under the Beaux Arts, vaulted ceiling of The Trust in downtown Lancaster.
Bring your friends, thoughts, and questions, and don’t forget to order your tickets soon. Seats are free with advanced registration only.
