Join us in the continued commitment to social and environmental engagement and justice in this very complex time, to exploring the roots of structural violence in our social systems, and to engaging in the world in a courageous way based on contemplative practice and views that actualize non-separateness, interbeing, equity, compassion, justice, integrity, courage, dignity, and unshakable awareness.

This monthly series is stewarded by Roshi Joan Halifax, Sensei Kozan Palevsky, and Sensei Wendy Dainin Lau.

The faculty for this series includes: Jon Kabat-Zinn, Christiana Figueres, Ruth King, Valerie Brown, Bhikkhu Bodhi, Father Greg Boyle, Terry Tempest Williams, Konda Mason, Rebecca Solnit, Father John Dear, Guo Gu, Tara Brach, Frank Ostaseski, Sharon Salzberg, Roshi Joan, and Senseis Kozan Palevsky and Dainin Lau.

The focus is on recognizing and ending violence in relation to addressing the roots of war/genocide, racism, climate suffering, economics of exploitation and extraction, othering, and our own delusion that we are separate from any being or thing.

On one or two Sundays each month, you are invited to join the global Sangha from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Mountain Time (MT). Each Zoom session will include a special introduction, teaching, community reflections, and the dedication of merit and Bodhisattva Vows. These sessions are offered freely, but donations are appreciated.
