Socio-Spiritual Evolution
Calvin Terrell |
TEDxPhoenixCollege
• April 2019
Calvin Terrell challenges all to remember their power to see themselves in others. To transcend
global challenges while maintaining the Earth’s environment, humankind must heal historical
traumas around race intersecting with every human identity. In his candid presentation, Calvin
will weave ancient indigenous concepts of healing with modern challenges as a call to action. In
Lak Ech is a Nauhatl phrase that affirms that humans and all life are interconnected. Calvin
invokes the concept of In Lak Ech as healing tool for evolving relations in his work as activist
artist and justice consultant throughout the United States. “You are my other me” is the meaning
behind In Lak Ech and the challenge Calvin affirms in this talk. For a new world that is safer
environmentally, socially, and institutionally, we must unlearn to relearn to see our interwoven
destiny.
