We are witnessing numerous world crises unfold right before our eyes, from disastrous climate events, to food and water shortages, to unheard of political and economic polarization. Can we separate our personal spiritual growth from our participation in the world community? Join us for this program to analyze together the impact of our personal choices and learn about specific steps we can take now to make a difference. By taking personal responsibility now, we can together help alleviate much suffering and experience the peace that comes from compassionate action.
