Sangha Is All Practices with Disability Justice
Indigenous communities on the continent known as North America had a context for belonging that arose from Balance. Balance included awareness of physical, mental, and emotional capacities but did not include the modern western concept of “disability” that separates and denigrates individuals based on the impact of these capacities.
Access intimacy is critical to disability justice because there will never be any work with disabled people that does not include accessibility work….So, if we are working to transform the world for all of us, and not just some of us, access will be a huge part of this work. There is no liberation without disabled people. ~ Mia Mingus
Sangha Is All Disability Justice and the Dharma Offerings
Disability justice-based movement building and performance project organization Sins Invalid has gifted us with 10 Principles of Disability Justice .
In the US, ideas about, attitudes toward, and accommodations for differences in ability due to chronic illness, neurodivergence, genetic variations, mental illness, medical accident, and many other causes have long been evolving and, as seen today, can shift with the political winds. Weathering these storms in a disabled body requires many skills, including self-awareness, resilience, and self-love. We seek to enhance our connection to these and other skills in disabled persons and their friends, families, and caretakers, by exploring SinsInvalid’s 10 Principles of Disability Justice in the context ancient and contemporary wisdom as well as the shared experiences of our bodies and lives. While beings considered “disabled” will be centered during this experience, individuals of all capacities are invited to participate. Community is central to everything that Sangha Is All Offers -- our wisdom and liberation are cultivated and supported by what each of us brings.
