It’s easy to find ourselves swept up in anxiety with seemingly nowhere to stand—particularly as we witness violence, polarization, and confusion in our world. By intentionally opening to wisdom and joy, however, we can access a sense of solid ground from which we can respond to our circumstances skillfully and lovingly.

Wisdom is direct exploration of and insight into what is fundamentally true in our lived experience; joy is the openhearted embrace of experience and brightening of the mind. Participants in this course will dive deeply into a range of practices and discussions designed to open to and develop these qualities. In the process, we may discover an aspect of life that is fundamentally ok and effortlessly open. We may find that we don’t need to relinquish our clarity or our smile in the face of personal or societal challenges.
