Dharma and Democracy Forum with Mary Jo
Dharma and Democracy Forum with Mary Jo
Sundays, 3-4 p.m. on Zoom
Dear friends,
On November 5th our country entered a new chapter in its evolution as a democracy. Projections into the future abound regarding how we individually, collectively as a nation and globally as a world will be impacted by the results of this election.
To rise and meet this moment, we can, in Roshi Halifax's words, cultivate a strong back and soft front. Love is the most important muscle in transformation. In this moment, what is love asking?
Please join our monthly forum: Dharma and Democracy, facilitated by Mary Jo Bennett. We will meet the first Sunday of each month @3-4pm CST on Zoom.
Please join us online via Zoom (password: showme) Sundays 3:00-4:00 pm Central Time beginning Dec 1
