Tara Brach: Teaching in the Midst of Deep Division
2024-03-02 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York)
Saturday, March 2 from 12 – 1:30 pm ET. Our political systems, communities and even our families are facing deep divisions and these divisions often seem insurmountable. How do we address the pressing challenges of our times – politics, climate crisis, conflict and suffering – when we can’t agree on common starting points? How do we hold each other in love and compassion when it feels like we are yelling across great divides? Tara will offer support and practical guidance on how we teach in these moments and how we show up for our students, friends, family and ourselves even when it seems impossible and daunting. Register here ; Zoom link is here. We invite you to pre-submit questions for Tara.
