Wisdom Teaching:

In recent times we have seen the rise of fear in our culture and our politics. There is no time like the present to begin sowing seeds for working directly with our fear and fearlessness. Through the practices of embodied presence, compassion and dialogue we will find the deep source of courage within ourselves that allows us to see our own inherent good and that of our communities. We can manifest and catalyze the wisdom inherent in any group, anywhere.
