A hybrid discussion series occurring online and in-person focuses on building the historic context of the Invisible Tea House project at the Pasadena Buddhist Temple, a historic community center founded by the post-WWII Japanese American Community. This lecture was made possible in part by a grant through the Mike Kelly Foundation and is a collaboration with the Asian American Justice and Innovation Lab.

If you wish to attend the discussion panels in person, the in-person location will take place at the Pasadena Buddhist Temple, 1993 Glen Avenue, Pasadena CA, 91103. Masks are required.

Conflict & Mutuality will take place on Friday, January 20th 2023 starting at 6:30 PM with guest speaker Jose Salcedo (Tea Ceremony Instructor, Urasenke School). Moderated by Leslie Ito (Director of the Armory Center for the Arts) Pasadena.

In this panel discussion, we will learn through personal experiences how the Pasadena Buddhist Community has embraced participation from all and how the community has gauged growth through this open policy. REGISTER to save a spot on zoom!
