Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza’s Calling to the Work of Social Repair
as FEATURED IN
Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza delivers their TEDx Talk in Nashville, TN (2022)!
It was one of his most difficult challenges, and greatest joys, to share this talk in his home city.
In a raw and unflinchingly honest 15 minutes, Dr. Roberto describes dangers of being disconnected from the body.

“Roberto and I have been in each other’s orbit since 2018. Watching his transformation has been stunning. From disembodied, story-alienated academic to embodied story-driven man of the people, Roberto walks with purpose on the path of social repair. He’s a beautiful model that all life is constant becoming.”

"Roberto's work is at the critical intersection of these times between the prophetic and somatic. His prophetic voice speaks to the many of us who are actively seeking and shaping a new world in the midst of collapse and turning. His somatic practice calls attention to our collective body, all the ways we must understand ourselves as fundamentally interdependent with one another and the radical care that our collectivity at this time requires. Together, Roberto opens us both a way and a path."

"I’ve been privileged to get to know Roberto Che Espinoza not on a stage or through scholarship but in the unfolding dialogue of friendship. In each exchange, I have been moved by Roberto’s courageous vulnerability, humble devotion to Jesus, and relentless pursuit of repair amidst pain. In a time of othering fixated on our differences and disagreements, I am inspired by Roberto’s witness to our universal dignity as neighbors and image-bearers of God."

"We are living in the midst of an unprecedented moment of crisis and opportunity. Many of us realize that our ways of being in this world, both as individuals and as societies, are not sustainable. We’re tired. We long for another possible future - a phrase of Roberto’s that I have come to treasure. In his dreams, both for himself and for us, he is pointing a way forward that I can believe in, a path that I can practice. For that reason, I do all I can to stay in conversation with him, to sit with his questions, and to be inspired by his contagious aliveness."

Our Collective Becoming is a nonprofit dedicated to curating networks of trust that nurture networks of care, so that genuine networks of solidarity can take root and flourish. It is an ethical turn toward social repair, born from the conviction that healing is always relational and that liberation is a collective act. Founded as a living experiment in belonging, it invites us to practice the world we long for by tending to one another with courage, tenderness, and imagination.
