SUMMARY:ALLIANCE PROGRAM From Guerilla to Grandmother: An Evening with Peace Activist Katherine Power
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Power\, author of SURRENDER: My Journey from Guerilla to Grandmother\, will join us to share her story and talk with us about taking action to bring about change. In her book\, she recounts the events of her dramatic journey from anti-war activist to revolutionary guerrilla\, through 23 years of life on the run where she built a family that she had to leave in a dramatic surrender\, serving a prison sentence where she found grace and meaning. \nNow\, as an elder\, Power reflects on her inner journey and its lessons—how cultivating inner peace and practicing compassion are the foundation of powerful action for change in the world. \nKatherine Power studied at Brandeis\, completed her Bachelor’s degree through the Boston University Prison Education Program\, and holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy\, Ethics\, and Writing from Oregon State University. Her previous book\, Doing Time: Papers from Framingham Prison\, is available from Nighthawk Press. \nAll are welcome to Alliance events!
