"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but in oneself? There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." - Barry Lopez

I spent Saturday team teaching a daylong, a gathering of people of all levels of meditation experience, a day of talks, walks, meditation, & discussion, exploring how to keep our hearts open in these times, to walk in compassion. We arrived stressed, shared troubles, left with hope + new friends. โฎ๏ธ๐
