Greetings Dear Community,
Even if we aren't directly impacted, bearing witness to floods and fires around the world is hard, especially when we know that humanity is far from united on the causes and required remedies. Not limited to the question of catastrophic ecological crises, as a culture, our realities are becoming increasingly segregated. If you feel discouraged, depressed, overwhelmed or even helpless in the face of the conflicts that underlie these phenomena, you're not alone.
How might the Dharma support us in understanding, managing and responding to this immense challenge? What agency is possible for us here that is both grounded and inspiring. Again: we begin with our own minds. In this second of two explorations on conflict, we'll look at that wisdom and practices that can support us as we enter into situations where social conflict might be skillfully addressed.
As usual, we'll begin with a period of sitting together, and after the dharma talk, share in community conversation. Zoom details follow below. I look forward to being with you.
Thank you for your practice,
Kristin
