Guesnerth Josue Perea
Guesnerth Josue Perea serves as Director of Black Lives and Contemplation for the Center for Spiritual Imagination and belongs to the Community of the Incarnation, a new monastic community which embodies and teaches engaged contemplative spirituality in response to what Father Bede Griffiths called “the universal call to contemplation.” Perea was part of the team that founded the AfroLatine Theology Project, and he was executive producer of the documentary "Faith in Blackness." His perspective has been featured in prominent publications such as the "New York Times", the "New Yorker," and "USA Today," and his writing has been featured in "Sojourners," the "Los Angeles Review of Books," and numerous anthologies. A dedicated Brooklynite, he wholeheartedly believes that cultivating our inner lives through contemplative practice is instrumental for liberation, allowing us to embody Biggie's call to spread love "the Brooklyn way."
