SUMMARY:Mindfulness and Healing the Heart of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A special invitation for all alumni from RISE Sangha which has been co-leading a series this past spring on Mindfulness and Healing the Heart of Democracy with the Center for Contemplative Practices and Transformative Educational Leadership.  This special session is being held for all alumni. \n  \nBased on the work of Parker Palmer and as well as other dharma sources\, we will explore ways how mindfulness may serve to keep our experiment of democracy alive– \nwithin our own hearts and the communities in which we serve. We will attend to both the Inner and Outer Games: \n\nHow do we\, as citizens and leaders\, stay hopeful\, resourced\, inspired and engaged?\nHow do we create spaces to facilitate others in cultivating their habits of heart in order to foster a more mindful\, compassionate\, thoughtful community and world?\nHow do we remain faithful to speaking/ listening in a way that takes us closer to truth; to the call of courage that summons us to be witness to the common good\, even against great odds?\n\n  \n“Many of us have a shared experience of heartbreak about the condition of our culture and society\, a yearning for something better than divisiveness\, toxicity\, passivity\, and powerlessness. \nWithin us is the courage to pursue that yearning\, to hold life’s tensions consciously\, until they break us open. This shared heartbreak builds a footbridge of mutual understanding on which we walk toward each other.  \nThe broken-open heart is a source of power as well as compassion—the power to bring down whatever diminishes us and raise up whatever serves us well.”  -Parker Palmer \n \nThis session is from 12 – 1:30 pm ET;  the zoom link is here  \n  \nNote: This is a stand-alone event which is related to a fall series of RISE sangha meetings in which we explore in greater depth five Habits of Heart to build our capacity for wise view\, loving awareness\, compassion\, and skillful engagement in the world. These five habits are:1) We’re All in This Together\, 2) An Appreciation of Otherness\, 3) A Capacity to Hold Tension Creatively\, 4) A Sense of Voice and Agency\, 5) A Capacity to Create Community.  Please join RISE Sangha for more information.
