#MuditaRevolution: Cultivating the Heart of Joy to Counteract Capitalism

December 8, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

with Dawn Haney, JD Doyle, Lisa Moore and Rene Rivera

Open to All

The heart practices taught by the Buddha, including loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity, offer a path to building resourced and resilient alternatives to capitalism.

Cultivating  Mudita, known as empathetic or appreciative joy, has the power to nourish community through  the celebration of our connections with each other. Shifting our focus from material accumulation, to joy in the present moment, has the revolutionary power to bring us increasingly aware of the aliveness in our relationships, in the natural world, and in all we contact, and bringing greater freedom for ourselves and our communities. This workshop includes guided meditation, interactive activities, and discussions.

Space is limited and registration is requested. Register HERE.
