Join us for an illuminating talk by Dr. Larry Ward, renowned spiritual teacher and author of America's Racial Karma, as he explores the interconnectedness between our spiritual journey and the social and ecological crises of our times.
Like the story from the ancient Chinese text, Hexagram 37, one morning the practitioner wakes up after their engaged work and finds themselves stranded on the top of a pole. To cross the great water requires an internal journey, an unfolding process within ourselves that is essential for long-term, societal transformation.
The evening will begin with a guided meditation. We recommend you attend live for the full experience. If you cannot, please register and we will send you the recording.
