Amidst these turbulent times, we at the Aquarian desire to do our very best in helping to heal and eliminate racism in our community, state, country, and outward in the world. So an advisory board has been created in the name of discussing and creating real solutions to heal injustice and inequality everywhere as we strive for equality consciousness everywhere. The central question the board will be focusing upon is: What is the role of the metaphysical community in healing racism?

The message of the Board is that metaphysics is the teaching of how the spiritual becomes a reality, and healing racism is absolutely the territory for a metaphysical approach.

One of the offerings from the Board is the monthly blog, “Love is Letting Go of Racism,” by Professor Angela Chamblee and Nick Lasky.
