Animals, Land, and Flourishing

You are invited to join a dialogue with Dr. Muna Shaheen and Dr. Stephen Fulder, leading Palestinian and Israeli dharma teachers, hosted by Gil Fronsdal. These are times of alarming violence and suffering, especially but not only in Gaza. There is an urgent need to explore how we can make sense of what is happening, how we can plant the seeds of change, how we can deal with the strong emotions and views all around us, and how the dharma can give us ways to respond.

This talk with Ram Appalaraju will provide an overview of challenges faced by the incarcerated men and women, their spiritual needs, and range of chaplaincy services that are offered by the ministry.

Join us on one or two Sundays each month, in the continued commitment to social and environmental engagement and justice in this very complex time, to exploring the roots of structural violence in our social systems, and to engaging in the world in a courageous way based on contemplative practice and views that actualize non-separateness, interbeing, equity, compassion, justice, integrity, courage, dignity, and unshakable awareness.
