In a world that often feels like it's teetering on the edge, it's not surprising that so many of us grapple with feelings of instability and overwhelm.

On Tuesday, December 19th, join acclaimed Buddhist meditation teachers Sharon Salzburg and Ethan Nicktern for a free online conversation on staying grounded, available, and engaged even when the world is on fire.

Ethan and Sharon will also discuss the upcoming darmamoon year-long Buddhist studies program

and offer their insights on how studying Buddhism can help us show up more fully for ourselves and others during these challenging times.
