Phenomenal Conversation #38 Foregrounding the Beloved Community with Karima Kadaoui

In this intimate conversation, Karima Kadaoui invites us into the living, breathing world of Tamkeen—a process rooted in deep listening, co-reflection, and the co-creation of what she suggests is Makan Makeen*: a safe, love-nurturing space where imagination blooms and everyone belongs.Together, in the interview we explore:

• How the act of questioning the questions reveals deeper truths about ourselves and our communities
• The poetic power of language—across Arabic, French, and English—to liberate thought and awaken presence
• A reimagining of transformation not as a fixed destination, but as something that unfolds moment by moment
• The possibility of recognizing beauty and humanity, even in places where pain and violence have taken root
• How a North African village came to name itself “The Village of Humanity” after engaging in co-creation through Tamkeen

This is a conversation for educators, regenerators, facilitators, and culture-makers seeking to dwell in the fertile unknown—and meet one another, again, as fully human.
