Leading Palestinian and Israeli Dharma Teachers in Dialogue

Online
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.
