Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World: An Online Benefit
with Dan Harris and Mark Epstein
Sunday, November 14th, 2021 | 11:00am to 12:45pm ET
An online benefit for Cambridge Insight Meditation Center and New York Insight Meditation Center
In the face of environmental devastation, political divisiveness, social injustice, and a raging pandemic, we may lose heart and turn away. We may well be immobilized by rage, hatred or grief. We may doubt our ability to have an impact. Buddhism offers practices and teachings to help us meet the peril and embrace the opportunity, to steady ourselves with wisdom and engage with clarity, determination, and compassion.
Come join us! Participate in the urgent, joyful work the world is calling us to do now.
This benefit program is made possible through the generosity of our speakers. All proceeds benefit Cambridge Insight Meditation Center and New York Insight Meditation Center.
All sessions will be recorded and shared with registrants after the event.
