Rev. angel applies wisdom teachings and embodied practice, and is a leading voice for Transformative Social Change.

“There is something deep in us in terms of our sense of belonging to humanity that will still yearn to be seen, to be honored, to be witnessed, to be able to be whole in the presence of people that are not like us.” – Rev. angel Kyodo Williams
