About the Talk: "The Heart Can Only Take So Much" 

We are living in the confluence of multiple disasters over varying periods of time: a worldwide pandemic (months); pending climate catastrophe (decades); and racial and ethnic discrimination and violence (centuries). From whatever our standpoint is: How can we keep our hearts open? How can we see clearly? How can we know what to do? There will be a 5 minute silent sitting at the beginning of the talk.

Date: Friday, July 10th

Time: 7:30 to 8:30pm CST

Suggested donation: $10 (pay during the registration process or choose “pay later”)
