Description

"Play a Greater Part" - Bodhisattva for Our Times - Pt1 (2016-11-16) - During scary and uncertain times, the habitual reflex is to try to find ground by creating stories about what’s happening and hardening into us-them blame. This only perpetuates the aggression and violence that is so prevalent in our societies. These two talks are a reflection on how we as awakening bodhisattvas can evolve our consciousness in a way that serves authentic societal healing and transformation.  "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." - Margaret Wheatley "From bitter searching of the heart, Quickened with passion and with pain We rise to play a greater part. ..." ~ Leonard Cohen Your support enables us to continue to offer these talks freely.
