Kaira Jewel Lingo: Meeting Uncertainty with Awakened Tenderness
Channel: SF Dharma Collective
Date: 03/11/2020

This session is an invitation to come home to the island within us that very much needs our care, so that we can meet the uncertainty of our times with resilience and tenderness. With so many aspects of our lives impacted by the pandemic, uprisings, climate change, and economic downturn, we will support each other in holding ourselves and our communities with compassion. We will create space to grieve and acknowledge the enormity of the upheaval we are facing, becoming intimate with the real unreliability of our circumstances and where we can nevertheless find true refuge.
