In this month's dharma talk, Dr. Ward will offer insights and real life guidance on how to cultivate equanimity in challenging times. From the top of a great summit we can see far and wide. Our perspective is vast. We come to a place of peace, presence and prayer in action. And just like climbing a mountain, building the muscles of equanimity takes intentional effort and practice.
The evening will start with a guided meditation from Peggy Rowe Ward, Lotus Institute co-founder and senior teacher, to help ground us into the moment, into the elements.
