At the start of this year, I engaged in a ritual rooted in listening—listening to what the psyche quietly asks of my leadership and the soul of the community I serve. The word that emerged was loving-kindness. At first, I questioned whether this word was sufficient for the complexities of leadership amid the fractures and upheavals in higher education, society, and life itself. Yet, in relinquishing control, embracing vulnerability, and trusting the unfolding wisdom of what I could not yet fully see, loving-kindness called me—and us—to meet life’s contradictions with presence and courage rather than retreat.

Christiena Paulette Auguste, who performs under the nom de plume CHRIS [THE] ALCHEMIST, is enrolled in our new M.A./Ph.D. in Psychology, Religion, and Consciousness that will begin in Fall 2025 and is now accepting applications.
