About the Program
Bison Medicine: The Moral Teachings of Our National Mammal with Brandon Peele
As our nation descends further into chaos and Constitutional crisis, we’d do well to remember that we are a nation that does big things. We are the nation of not just the Constitution, but Moby Dick, NASA, and the Internet. We defeated the Confederacy and the Third Reich. And we will defeat hate again. But first we have to scope the problem.
The nature of our problems is not political, technological, or material – we already have every resource, tool, and policy we need to be free and flourish. Rather, our problems are moral, cultural, spiritual, and psychological and we have to work the problem on these levels. Only then can we remake society, be free, flourish, and finally give hate no quarter on this soil.
This course jumpstarts this moral, cultural, spiritual, and psychological transformation, by activating the three key ideas of Brandon’s book “Bison Medicine”:
- We have a 3-part national purpose to fulfill (A. All Created Equal, B. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and C. E Pluribus Unum).
- In 2016, we summoned the majestic bison, and consecrated it as our National Mammal. In this dark hour, it offers us eight teachings to fulfill our sacred purpose.
- By activating your unique personal purpose in your organization and community, you can unleash your gifts, lead a team, and fulfill our nation’s purpose right here and now.
Brandon referenced the book / course’s key points in these two, six-minute Worship Associate sermons he delivered at his UU congregation, the Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church in Walnut Creek, CA.
