Events for Saturday, January 4, 2025

We find ourselves in uniquely challenging and uncertain times: overpopulation, mass extinctions, extreme weather, environmental tipping points, political upheaval, nuclear proliferation, demographic instability and widespread migrations, and the advent of technologies that challenge and distort our understanding of what’s real and true.
Of course, we can always seek refuge in the knowing that our true nature − awakened awareness, consciousness, the absolute − is undisturbed and never dies. But what about all the painful consequences at a very human level of all this difficult and precipitous change? How do we find peace in a deeper ground while acknowledging and welcoming our understandable feelings of fear, outrage, or grief?

Please join me for one or more satsangs in this monthly series (Jan-May) that include resting in our deeper ground while welcoming and working with the feelings that these challenging times evoke.
