Liberation Lab
Book Club


The Liberation Lab Book Club gathers around a continuing question: What do we do with what we know?

We read together because encountering an idea does not necessarily change the way we live. Shared inquiry gives us time to question our assumptions, listen across difference, and consider what new understanding might ask of our daily decisions, relationships, teaching, and participation in the world.

we Gather to Explore

This Book Club is a place to explore urgent questions without losing our grounding, to remain hopeful without looking away, and to connect contemplative practice with meaningful engagement in the world.

The books give us somewhere to begin. Through conversation, reflection, and continued questioning, we explore how knowledge might become practice, responsibility, and a way of living.

Book Club 2027: Moral Imagination

How do we become the kind of people the world asks us to be?

In 2027, the Liberation Lab Book Club will explore Moral Imagination: our capacity to see beyond inherited assumptions, recognize lives and experiences different from our own, and imagine ways of relating that are not limited by the divisions of the present.

Living the Teachings

Moral imagination is not simply the ability to picture a better world. It asks us to examine the stories through which we understand ourselves and others, the communities to which we belong, the harms in which we may be implicated, and the choices available to us when familiar ways of living no longer seem adequate.

Across eight books, we will move from personal questions of time, attention, and impermanence toward larger questions of narrative, belonging, love, reconciliation, social transformation, and peacebuilding.

2027 Trajectory

The year follows a movement

We begin with the reality that our time is limited. What deserves our attention, and how do we choose what matters? From there, we turn toward impermanence and interbeing, asking how a less separate understanding of ourselves might change the way we meet the world.

We will examine the stories that determine what we can and cannot see, how communities create belonging through exclusion, and whether love can become an ethical practice rather than only a private feeling. We will then consider what truth, forgiveness, and repair require after profound harm.

Finally, we will ask what must be relinquished when inherited systems can no longer carry us forward, and how moral imagination might help us create relationships and possibilities that do not yet exist.
