Our culture is experiencing a breakdown of civility because of heightened fear. Dualistic, in-group/out-group thinking is tearing our society apart. We are faced with necessary but difficult conversations about racism and sexism. In order to navigate this cultural moment, we need people who are spiritually evolved and able to keep their hearts open and supple in the midst of fear and violence. This class will look at spiritual practices that can help us live in love with the world, regardless of the craziness and cruelty around us.
You will leave with a better understanding of how fear and judgement function in our lives and be empowered to live with less fear and more open to everyone, particularly those who we see as different from ourselves, or even threatening.
