Meet the Working Group
The LUV/BIPOC “Working Group” is a small group of BIPOC Three Principles students, teachers and practitioners, organized from a larger 3P BIPOC group which meets every other month for a more general and open discussion. The Working Group also sets up and facilitates these larger, “safe space” meetings.
The LUV/BIPOC Working Group meets monthly to create a platform for global education around the Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought–as first articulated by Mr. Sydney Banks.
Our additional purpose is to create a feeling of inclusivity and belonging for people of color in the Three Principles world–as well as to showcase the many POC who are teaching and sharing the Principles.
We are dedicated to increasing global understanding of Who We Each Are and also a widespread knowledge of how racism, insecurity and a lack of education and awareness holds humanity back from its fullest potential.
To join the Working Group, please attend at least three of our larger group meetings first.
