ELECTION SERIES
Love and Equanimity in Action
with Sharon Salzberg
& Rhonda Magee
Join Sharon Salzberg for a three-part series exploring the applications of the Brahma Viharas in Election Season. In the Buddhist framework, the Brahma Viharas (lovingkindness, compassion, equanimity, and sympathetic joy), known as the four immeasurables, are boundless states within each of us. They are powerful tools by which we can navigate and engage in turbulent times such as Election Season with balanced heartfulness and clear agency to make positive changes in the world. With 50 years of experience in Buddhist teachings, Sharon offers an approach to engaged civic duty that is much needed in our time.
SESSION TWO
Equanimity & Embodied Wisdom
In this second session, we will explore the spacious balance born of wisdom: equanimity. Sharon will be joined by co-teacher Rhonda Magee for this session. Equanimity imbues our kindness with insight and perspective, and our actions with discernment and non-attachment. As a quality, equanimity offers us internal space to be with things as they really are. Deepening equanimity supports us to:
• Cultivate inner space around difficult feelings
• Connect to a long-term vision and understanding
• Recognizing our limits compassionately
• Get comfortable setting boundariesSession includes teaching, guided equanimity meditation, and question & response period. All are welcome. Registration Details
