Reimagining Democracy Resource Guide

What would it look like if we practiced reimagining democracy as a spiritual discipline in our daily lives? As an organization that accompanies a wide network of spiritually grounded leaders who can be susceptible to the intensity that exists during political seasons of change and moral upheaval— Faith Matters Network sought to provide an election grounding guide that offers deep-soul care in this time. The “Weekly Wind-down”, as we named it, is a light digital resource to accompany you week by week with each issue focusing on a specific audience or community that is greatly impacted in times of policy change and elections. It features inspiring wisdom, quotes, and antidotes from wise sages, resources from other aligned organizations, as well as reflection questions for contemplation and affirmations to end each week. We view the spiritual practice of reimagining democracy as our way of considering new dimensions of how we can co-create a democracy that works for us all. We believe it is through democratic action that we can transform the stresses of competition and disparity to interdependence and equity. Democracy can indeed be a sacred pathway to our collective flourishing.
