Join Lotus’ guiding teachers, Drs. Larry Ward and Peggy Rowe Ward, as well as Tara Brach, Sharon Salzberg, Robert Thurman, Kazu Haga, Dhammadipa Melissa Cardenas, and Hugh Byrne for this weekend of conversation, community, and practice.

We’re living in times that deeply challenge our ability to bring the compassion and wisdom we cultivate on the cushion into our everyday lives. How do Buddhist teachings help us examine the perceptions and biases that fuel separation and hatred? What’s the meaning of fierce compassion? Is equanimity even possible when so many are living in trauma, fear, and uncertainty? And how can we care for ourselves, our planet, and each other in ways that align with both our heartfelt beliefs and our individual capacities?
